Its the same reason they roll in it, or anything dead (double yack!). If they smell like their, "prey", they can sneak up on them more easily. And they think it smells like heavenly perfume.

Last time we had the septic tank cleaned, they dropped a bit of the sludge in the driveway. One of the Pyr's (solid white), immediately went out and rolled in it. Gawdawful!
