A Lion's nose is absolutely incredible - take a close look at Neptunes' nose...
It is held open by the skull bones and cartilage divided into two quadrants, right and left. As the nose breathes in oxygen, ciliated mucus keeps dust, pollen, bacteria and small insects from entering the throat and lungs.
