Snout - online puzzles

A snout is the protruding portion of an animal 's face, consisting of its nose, mouth, and jaw. In many animals the equivalent structure is called a muzzle, rostrum or proboscis. The wet, naked surface around the nostrils of the nose of some animals is known as the rhinarium (colloquially this is the " cold wet nose" of some animals ). The rhinarium is often associated with a stronger sense of olfaction. The snout is considered a weak point on most animals : because of its structure, an animal can be easily stunned, snapped or even knocked out by applying sufficient force.
