We use our hearing to communicate with those around us and interact with our environment. The average person's hearing range is from 20 Hz – 20 kHz and we use three muscles during the hearing process. However, many animals have much better hearing than we do
Moth
Moths are known as the species with the best hearing in the animal kingdom. They can hear frequencies up to 300 kHz, 15 times higher than the highest-pitched sounds we can hear. It is believed that this moth developed such sensitive hearing to escape its main predator: bats. Bats use high-frequency echolocation to hunt, but larger wax moths can hear bat calls, giving them a chance to hide from their predators.
Moths are not easy to distinguish from regular butterflies. Sometimes the name "Heterocera" is used for this butterfly while the term "Rhopalocera" is used for butterflies to differentiate, however, it has no subspecies value. Scientists have made many attempts to subdivide the Lepidoptera suborder into groups such as Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Frenatae and Jugatae, or Monotrysia and Ditrysia. The failure of these names to survive in modern taxonomy is because neither name represents a pair of monophyletic groups.
Dolphin
Dolphins have exceptional hearing and eyesight and also use echolocation to “hear” where they are going (similar to bats). In this case, a dolphin will make a sound, a hiss, which will bounce off the surface and return to the dolphin's lower jaw. The echoes of sound vibrations provide an acoustic map of what may lie ahead. The detail of the acoustic mapping is impressive and allows the dolphins to not only hunt effectively but also avoid any danger.
Dolphins are known for their exceptional hearing. But did you know that they have no sense of smell? Dolphins have olfactory regions, but do not have olfactory nerves. In case you're wondering: "If dolphins can't smell, do they have a sense of taste?" Indeed, they have taste buds but can only feel the taste of salt.
Rabbit
Rabbits point their ears straight towards the sound. Ear movements help rabbits escape from predators. In addition, rabbit ear movements also tell us a lot about their behavior. Rabbit ears standing up means they are listening attentively.
Rabbits are a small mammal classified in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, living in many parts of the world. Rabbits are classified into seven types,[citation needed] typically European hares, cottontail rabbits (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), Amami rabbits. There are many other rabbit species in the world; Cottontails, bobtails, and jackrabbits are classified in the order Lagomorpha. The lifespan of a rabbit is from 4 to 10 years, the gestation period is about 30 days.
Cat
Not only are cats' hearing very impressive, with an average frequency range of 45Hz - 64,000Hz, but their ears are also mechanically remarkable. The human ear consists of three muscles and the three smallest bones in the body; Cats' ears are controlled by about three dozen muscles on each ear that allow them to rotate their ears 180 degrees.
The cat is a very sensitive animal capable of sensing sounds up to 50,000Hz while humans can only perceive up to 20,000Hz. This difference is so great that even though he can hear the sound of a mouse from 7 meters away, our hearing often has to combine with our sight to understand what a person is doing. said when talking on a street with a lot of traffic.
In addition, the cat's ears can be oriented towards the focus of sound thanks to the 27 muscles found in them, which allow each one to rotate.
Bat
Bats are known for their exceptional hearing, although the idea that they have poor eyesight is widely denied by scientists. Some species of bats use echolocation, meaning they make sounds when flying and use echoes for positioning and navigation. The sound vibrations they emit through their hisses will bounce from any nearby surface back to the bat, allowing them to know where the object is.
Bats are animals that look very similar in flight, but the difference between them is in size. The size of bats depends on individual variations in appearance. The smallest bat species is Kitti's hog-nosed bat, with an average length of 29 -34mm and they are classified as the smallest mammals on the planet. Besides, the largest bat species is the flying fox family with a wing coverage of up to 1.7 meters and a weight of 1 kg equivalent to 2.2 pounds.
