gesture relfejo = gesture reflejoa Flehmen response, also called Flehmen position, or the Flehmen reaction, ( from German flehmen - of animals, which means creasing the upper lip ) is a particular type of stroke retraction in the lip in ungulates, cats, and many other mammals, which facilitates the transfer of chemical odorants in the vomeronasal organ, or Jacobson. In the reaction or reflection of Flehmen, animals retracted his lips in a way that they seem to be doing a grin. This gesture is adopted to help expose the vomeronasal organ and attract the molecules of smell to it.
