A bull moose displays the flehmen response after smelling fresh cow moose urine. Females in estrus, usually around October 1, emit a scent which is attractive to bulls. The bulls sense the odor by lifting up their heads, curling back their lips and sniffing the air. This is called the Flehmen Response. There is an olfactory organ in the back of a moose's palate which determines if a cow has ovulated.
