In a shocking revelation that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about wildlife, scientists have discovered that elephants have the best sense of smell – and it's not just because they have big noses. We mean, who needs actual evidence when you have a trunk the size of a garden hose? But seriously, these majestic creatures boast nearly 2,000 functional olfactory receptor genes, which is like having a superpower that lets them sniff out pizza parties from miles away.

Meanwhile, bears are also vying for the title, with some claiming their sense of smell is so powerful it can detect the scent of disappointment wafting from your failed life choices. It's a tough competition, but we're rooting for the elephants – solely because imagining them at a pizza party is just too funny to pass up.
