It is the same as putting your finger in your mouth wetting it and sticking it in the air, as a target shooter I need to know the wind direction. As a rugby kicker it helps to know the wind direction. That's why we haven't got wet noses, because we can wet our finger and stick it in the air. Cats on the other hand do not need such a large expanse of wetness as they are opportunist hunters they will sniff out a mouse run then sit on a post fence or hide in the grass and wait until the prey comes to them, they also have extremely good hearing. Now go one further why are bovine noses dripping wet, because they lose the sight of what they are about to eat as it gets nearer to their mouths, so their noses sent-taste with the droplets of wetting agent they produce on their noses, certain reptiles do the same with their tongues.While the noses of many dogs are wet, plenty of dogs have dry ones. What keeps a dog's snout moist? No one knows for sure. One theory says that the wetness comes from mucus produced inside Fido's nose.
