What is animal range ? i know it has something to do with the ear but other info comes out?

From a website:\nIn biology, the range of a species is the geographical area within which that species can be found.\n\nThe term is often qualified:\n\nsometimes a distinction is made between a species' native range and the places to which it has been introduced by human agency (deliberately or accidentally). \nfor species which are found in different regions at different times of year, terms such as summer range and winter range are often employed. \nfor species where only part of their range is used for breeding activity, the terms breeding range and non-breeding range are used. \nwhen discussing mobile animals, the species' natural range is often discussed, as opposed to areas where it occurs as a vagrant. \ngeographic or temporal qualifiers are often added e.g. British range or pre-1950 range

It's all speculation, but in general, larger animals have deeper voices. Male humans are about 20% bigger than females, on average.

Humans can't output more than a watt or so of acoustical power (ref.). The resonant frequency of an elephant's head cavities would be related to a length no greater than its diameter, let's say about 2 feet or less, so about a few hundred Hz and up. At those frequencies one would expect the skin, fat and cranium to absorb a considerable percentage of incoming acoustical power. So this leaves maybe a few hundred milliwatts entering, say the ear. The extremely responsive parts of the ear could be permanently damaged. Other head parts will be thicker and more massive, resulting in much smaller response. Physical destruction of the brain seems very unlikely, but one couldn't rule out psychological damage.

Well, every animal has it's own set of stats.  I suggest you google a bit.

No clue. Probly.\nMade of animals or not, I'm still wearing it. Lol.

Yeah, that guy is right. A snail can't jump. So not ALL animals can jump higher than a house!

Well, we have mediocre everything except brain power. Usually animals will have great hearing, but poor sight. We have everything pretty balanced. \n\nWe have superior brain power than allow us to flourish. We don't need claws. There's already 6billion of us.

"Some muscles attached to the external ear in humans seem vestigial in terms of evolution.  Some of us can wiggle our ears, some of us cannot.  In lower mammals, dogs for instance, these muscles allow exquisite control of the external ear for purposes of moving them to better able to detect where sounds originate.  In some aquatic animals, the little tab of skin in front of the ear canal, called the tragus, can be operated to act as a valve to open and close the ear canal.\n\nHowever, the earlobe itself has no known biological function."

Giraffes make a very limited number of sounds that are audible to the human ear (grunts, snorts, etc.).  The majority of their vocalizations, however, are produced at frequencies that are imperceptible to us (infrasound). \n\nResearch suggests that their vocalizations may be designed to be a covert form of communication.  \n\nOther animals have been observed to communicate via infrasound and include okapi, elephants, whales, and rhinoceros.

i would take her to the vet. maybe she has something in her ear? the only way to know for sure is to have a professional look at her.

The previous poster is right.  It's particles in the air "vibrating" (caused by pressure differences) that enables you to hear.  That is why in space, which is a vaccuum, you cannot hear anything.  There is nothing to transmit those pressure differences to your ear.

There was a PBS program 'Nature', just aired a couple of weeks ago, about whether animals can predict nature disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis. Whether animals can predict earthquakes is not conclusive. But there's a scientist in Berkeley (forgot his name) claimed he had predicted earthquakes accurately in the last few decades. What he used was simply newspaper ads on missing pets. He said normally you'd see about 10-15 missing pets ads, but before earthquakes, the missing pets ads would increase. His theory is contraversial, but it's worth a try. You may want to test that theory. \n\nThe program also mentioned about the terrible tsunami in Asia over a year ago. It mentioned none of the animals got harmed since they 'knew' the waves were coming and escaped from the disaster. \n\nOne theory is that animals can hear low frequency sound from beneath the earth, like grinding sound of moving rocks. \n\nAnyway, you'll find some interesting programs on PBS stations.

What kind of information?  Information on one specific breed of dog can fill volumes.\n\nAnd by the way, ALL dogs are canines.

It depends.\n\na.)"Dolphins have the best sense of hearing among animals. They are able to hear 14 times better than humans."\n\nb.)"Elephants can actually hear lower sounds than humans can -- they can hear in the 1Hz and 20,000Hz range. But the animals with the best hearing are probably mice, dolphins, and certain kinds of moths. Mice can hear frequencies between 1,000Hz and 100,000Hz...Dolphins can hear frequencies up to at least 100,000Hz, if not more. The Noctuid Moth has a hearing range between 1,000 and 240,000Hz."

just means lack of hearing .\nso there both the same maybe from wax in ear or other things not so nice even spiders.\ndisease's

Think of physical reasons as well.  Maybe barking hurts their throats.  In my lab's case, barking apparently bothers her ears as she shakes her head after barking.\n\nAdditionally, maybe their previous owners used a bark reducing training collar.  One that sends a shock when the dog barks.\n\nFinally, maybe like some people, they just don't have much to say.

Animals have been developing for millions of years. They are talking (communication) Then use urine or bees use a dance. Just because we can't understand them like we can each other, doesn't mean that they aren't talking. Whales talk, birds talk. Animals talk. A million years won't change anything.
