Focusing on the innovative olfactory concealment theory, this book reshapes scientific understanding of predator-prey dynamics by emphasizing the role of scent in animal behavior. It reveals how predators utilize odorants released by prey to locate them, while prey can evade detection by utilizing environmental factors like wind patterns and turbulence. Supported by extensive scientific evidence and literature, this work serves as a valuable resource for biologists and wildlife professionals seeking to manage interactions between olfactory predators and their prey effectively.
