Best Answer

The ears begin their development during the fifth week of pregnancy. Ear formation starts from a few small bulges called branchial arches. Portions of the branchial arches form into structures called auricular hillocks. The auricular hillocks grow and join together to form the outer ears.

During the fifth month, the inner and middle parts of the ear develop, but won't be completely finished until birth.

Carnivores Eg dogs cats have a little flap on the outer edge of their ears. It is almost like a little pouch. Does anyone know what it is for?

Good question! It is formed around the cartilage support of the "pinna" (outer ear/ear flap). It is most comparable to our own ear lobes. As far as I know it has no major function, like the lobes of our own human ears, but it's size and shape will be dictated genetically. It is most likely a remanant of fetal ear development in the womb.
