Auricle can mean two things... part of the heart, or the movable part of the ear. In this case, I think that the ear meaning is more likely... and the reason that animal's ears move is so that they can direct their hearing in certain directions to listen for predators or pay attention to something without moving the rest of their bodies and giving away their hiding place.
