Animals That Taste Only Saltiness

Dolphins can't smell.

They retain all of the mammal sense-of-smell genes for smelling in air, but they are corrupted by random mutations. None of them function anymore.

Thanks! That would have been useful information for them to add to the article. I assume Hyenas still retain their sense of smell though.
