Animal hearing

Animal hearing involves specialized structures called ears that detect sound waves and convert them into electrical signals for the brain to interpret. Different animals have various ear shapes and hearing ranges, allowing them to hear specific frequencies and intensities. Some animals, like dogs, can hear higher sounds than humans, while others, like elephants, detect lower frequencies. Auditory sensitivity helps animals communicate, locate prey, avoid predators, and navigate their environment. The ear's intricate design, including the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear, enables animals to process a wide variety of sounds crucial for their survival and behavior.
