[What is this staring?]

I can recognize different kinds of animals by scent, but not different animals that are the same kind. When I talk to them in my head they use their scent-names for themselves and each other, so I can remember what each scent-name is like when I hear it and I can say it back, but I can't smell the different names with my nose.
