Shark Facts – Hearing

Posted by on July 1, 2012

shark ears

Sharks don’t talk or sing, so they never evolved the sophisticated, sound-amplifying ears of mammals.

Instead the ears of Great White Shark are located internally. By connecting the inner ear, called the membranous labyrinth, to the surrounding water by a number of tunnels and ducts, the shark has a sensitive mechanism for interpreting sounds under water. Sound travels much further and faster underwater, so sharks are able to interpret sounds that are kilometers away.
