What are facts about how frogs get vibrations into their ears?
Answers
Frogs' ears also work closely with their lungs to keep pressure in their ears balanced. It helps them from hurting their own eardrums. When frogs get together they can create a chorus of croaking so loud, it can be heard from miles away. In fact, it's actually the males that do most of the croaking.
Frogs do not have visible external ears, but they do have areas that are equivalent to the human eardrum, and turn impinging sound vibrations into nerve vibrations that can be processed by their brain. "Frogs have a tympanum on each side of the head, which is involved in hearing and, in some species, is covered by skin."
They do not have external ears; the eardrums (tympanic membranes) are directly exposed or may be covered by a layer of skin and are visible as a circular area just behind the eye.
