Name that funtion?

what's the point of the bottom of our ear lobe? (humans)

why also don't we have more curvy ears to attract more sound?

and how good is a lizard or a bird's hearing with their ears on the side of their head and nearly internal than external?

I'm convinced the lobe (the typical part that gets pierced is useless, and the top may be more purposeful).

I figure birds don't need hearing as much as they do seeing, and both lizards and birds constantly scan their surroundings, with both vision and sound on their sides, than in front or behind them.

also, the title should say function. Clearly, I wasn't functioning when I posted this around midnight lol

Sound is very important to birds especially owls. The shape of the head is perfect for amplifying the tiniest sound in the dark.
As for humans the fact earlobes vary so much suggests they don't really have a function as far as hearing goes.

I agree! (on second part)

I love the mention of head shape' would've
never guessed.

I appreciate this Poppy :]

Those animals also have slighter bones which help transmit sound.

ouuuu I'm gonna google that.

Interesanteee

Are yu saying it's vibrational?

[Rosexøxø]

you*

[Andres77]

Bone vibration and less mass to dampen sounds, as opposed to us thick headed humans

L m A o !!

What are you drinking, young lady?
