Coonhounds often win lure competitions. They are very good at discerning old from new scents. If you want to get deeper into it, there are dogs that specialize in hot trails and those that specialize in cold trails. Bloodhounds have the best noses, but they are a cold trail dog (not that with a 100M scent receptors they would be shoddy in hot trails). Coonhounds are one of the very best in hot trails.

Humans are primarily visual animals. Few animals, such as birds of prey, are more visual than humans. But they normally don't have the same range of color perception as we do.

I suspect that our second strongest sense is our taste buds and digestion system. You actually get decision feedback from your gut and there is a direct link between it and your brain. So the "gut feeling" is not just a figure of speech.

I bet we have a lot more nerve cells devoted to our opposable thumbs..

It's my understanding that our brain devotes most of it's sensory processing to vision. There are people, blind from birth, whose brains have adapted to allow other senses to surpass average performance.
