CONT

Integumentary glands are common in artiodactyls. Many of these glands are odoriferous and are found on the abdominal and inguinal regions, the back, feet, and tail, and in front of the eyes. As expected, with such variety of scent glands used for marking artiodactyls have a very keen sense of smell.
