How Animals Hear: Crash Course Zoology #7

Today we're going to talk about what an ear even is, how ears have evolved, how they work, and some of the cool ways animals have tweaked their ears to work for their lifestyle. So perk up whatever you use for hearing because we're going to be sending vibrations your way for the next 10ish minutes!

Omg... they put a Toph Beifong headpiece on the scorpion... to depict the seismic/vibrational hearing through the ground... I freaking love this reference, and this channel. Flamio Hotmen, Crash Course.

5:48 Sokka, high on cactus juice: who turned Toph into a scorpion?

[andreorysdyk]

Toph, is that you???

Really liked the ATLA reference ahhahah

[SathAnimations]

11:16 Ya have to cut the cicada a break. If we lived 17 years underground and then only had a week or two to mate we'd be screaming too

[SaadAzad]

What a lovely voice she has to hear about hearing..

[childofgod]

At 5:55 Is that....is that supposed to be TOPH from Avatar?!!...Clever CrashCourse, very clever 😏 I get what you were going for with that, lol

[hy-longcat]

even weirder, some cartilaginous fish have simple external ears! they're not very noticeable, but they're usually just behind the spiracle, and contain two fused, unspecialised elements that may be homologous with the three bones of the tetrapod inner ear!

[Nathouuuutheone]

That scorpion looks really Toph. A total badass. I mean, he listens to the vibrations of the earth! That's pretty dope.

Favorite part was when the toads where croaking at each other

[jeyakumarbonifas]

I think animals and insect should have mutch more respect from us humans, they are capable of seeing, hearing, thinking, act out of love and much more and live just like us humans. We have a duty to take care of all of them :)

As I’ve been preparing for my college university final exams currently, this video and this channel have been very pleasant to watch.

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease.
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me.

500 million years of vertebrate ear evolution for you guys to use the earphones at max volume and get deaf fast.

[JD-nyvz]

Favorite part was finding out Turner was black 😭😭😭🙏🏾✊🏿

[arnolda.lampel]

What about Graboids?
It is said they cannot really "hear" but sense vibrations through the ground...

[Proton-hy]

Actually middle ear evolved only ones in the common ancestor of all tetrapods, the stapes bone say about this.

[mandalor]

imagine FEELING sound in order to hear

[luzalgarin]

Fascinating, another reason I believe in creation!

[bestanimee]

Those who got bored while studying for university exams, I opened this channel for you ♥

All fourth Grade classes should be replaced with Crash Course
