Why do we have ears?

The auditory pinna, or ear as it is better known, is very important for our hearing, and its main function is to collect sounds. It works like a funnel that directs sound into the ear. But in addition, the ear acts as a radar, which helps ____ locate where the sound is coming from!

So, if we didn't have ears, it would be very difficult to hear all the sounds around us. Just out of curiosity, did you know that ears on some animals can have very different functions? In bats, for example, they function like eyes – they “see” other animals when they perceive the sound waves they send. And elephants use their ears to regulate their body temperature, fanning them to cool off.
