The lip-curl, the gape response, or funny cat face .....is really called The Flehmen Response. It's a behavior animals use to investigate a smell.  You can see this behavior in everything from your cat, dog, rhinos, rams, elk, llamas, snakes and giraffes. The animal bares its teeth as it scrunches up its face to smell & taste! The ducts are nasopalatine canals, which are in the roof of the mouth and connect with something called the vomeronasal organ (aka the Jacobson’s organ).
