The visible portion of the ear is shaped in such a way that it best amplifies sound. A pig's ear is large and concave so that it can trap sound waves and amplify them inside the pig's ear for optimum hearing.

What is the function of the ear in a fetal pig?

In a fetal pig, the ear functions primarily as a sensory organ for hearing, although it is not fully developed in the womb. The external ear structures, such as the pinna, help to funnel sound waves toward the inner ear. Additionally, the ear contributes to balance through the vestibular system, which is important for the pig's orientation and movement once it is born. Overall, the ear prepares the fetal pig for postnatal life by enabling it to detect sounds and maintain equilibrium.
