Why are some animals able to turn their ears?
They move their ears so they can hear what's behind them. Small animals that are often hunted by others usually have this ability, to help them hear predators so the can escape. It is directional hearing that helps them located the source of noises and where they came from.
Why do rabbits turn there ears?
Rabbits are lagomorphs which means they have large back feet, gnawing teeth, and large ears. Since they have large ears, they can hear all the sounds around them. Whenever a rabbit hears a sound, his or her ears turn in that direction. It's their instinct. When all rabbits were wild, they depended on their sound catching ears! So coyotes or another predator could be detected before the coyote has some fast food!
Can rabbits hear well?
The most important factor for a rabbit's hearing is the science behind the shape of their long ears. Rabbits move their ears back and forth to generate acoustics that in turn bounce sound waves off objects. Doing this allows rabbits to maneuver effectively in their environment by allowing them to acquire a strong instinct for where things are in their environment.
Why can dogs hear more sounds than humans?
Yes. "Dog's sense of hearing has an almost equally important role within their world. Not only do dogs have a highly developed sense of hearing that can hear a wide range of sounds but they also have the ability to pin point the exact origin of the sound, discriminate between sounds and make a accurate interpretation of the sound, and decided whether it is threatening or non-threatening. As dog's ears are able to move in different directions, it is easier for dogs to pinpoint the exact location of a sound's origin. The frequencies that dogs can perceive and hear are almost twice that of humans and they can pick up and distinguish sounds at roughly 4 times the range of humans. Dogs have specially designed inner ears that allow them to have this incredible ability and their ears operate almost like radars. Not only do dogs hear the sounds but also perceive the height and depth of the sounds that they hear. Dogs also have the ability to hear ultra high frequencies that humans cannot and many professional dog handlers and trainers use this ability to their advantage by teaching them and training them to respond to different commands given on whistles that produce ultra high frequency sounds.
Are cats ears more sensitive than a dogs?
Yes. Humans can hear up to 20,000 megahertz ( a measurement of sound). Dogs can hear 35,000 to 40,000 megahertz. Cats pick up an astonishing 100,000 megahertz. They can even hear the ultrasonic sounds that are known to precede natural occurrences such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and electrical storms. This is because a cat's ears have pinnae, or ear cones, that turn in all directions like radar. Most people can't move their ears at all. Pretty neat huh?
Which are those animals that move ears to hear sound?

When you hear sound do the molecules of air move to where the sound began to your ears?

Why do dogs and cats move their ears. How does the shape of their ear help them to hear sounds?
dogs and cats move their ears to hear from where the sound id comming.the ears of cats and dogs are out so when the sound waves hit the outside of the ears it rebounds back into the ears.
Why do animals move their ears when they hear a sound?
It is smaller animals that can move their ears in different directions. Such animals need to hear the sounds made by smaller predators. Larger animals do not need that skill and do not have it. Instead, humans depend more on sight. Humans frequently stay in herds with at least one looking behind for a predator. Other large animals stay in herds. They do not move their ears. Instead, they watch. The noise large predators make does not carry far. So, they do not hear a lion walking. They can see him coming.
Why do dogs and cats move their ears?

Why do foxes have pointed ears?
When a fox's ears move forward, just like when dogs move their ears forward, they're attempting to focus all of their ears to one spot. This helps them hear faint sounds, which for foxes mostly helps in hunting the small, skittish animals that make up their diet.
