      I have looked this one up and it seems that they cannot smell but have a sense of taste

      Cetacean (whales, dolphins and porpoises) have gustation (sense of taste) but compared to other mammals have few taste buds (the organs on the tongue that allow us to taste).

      Dolphins doesn’t have a sense of smell but whales do!
