It seems that there's a Danish/Swedish/Norwegian expression "I sense owls in the moss" that corresponds to the English "I smell a rat".

@alijc the direct Danish to English translation of our version would be akin to "There are owls in the bog" I'd say. And yeah, it's similar to smelling of rats. 🤔😆
According to some sources it was redefined from wolves when they became extinct in Denmark in older days.
