I don’t have a photo, sadly, but just now I discovered that if you dip your finger in a glass of cognac and stick it on Bradley’s lip, he does a Flehmen.*

My mare Lulu does it when you give her a peppermint. Goats do it when they smell strange pee. I’m not sure why cats do it. Or why they do anything. #Horses
