. . . Deer have a forehead gland is my favorite. For those who wish to know.. deer do not have a forehead gland.. they have sweat glands in the forehead which give off the odor only during certain times of year... but you'll never read that one. Because its easier to understand and write deer have a forehead gland. Talk to your taxidermist he'll back me up.
Come on Duke! It's a gland, dammit! (albeit a sweat gland) - and it smells.
Actually there are two types of glands up there... And I will look up the names and post them... They escape me at the moment. One begins with an A. The other begins with an S, I think.
Me find.

Apocrine (sudoriferous)and Sebaceous. Those are the names.
