Notice that the ears are pointed, in general. They serve as fins to expedite heat transfer from the animal's body to the relatively cooler environment. They also serve as fans to provide cooling. The bigger the air the greater the fan-function. The thinner the outer edge if the air, the greater the fin-function.
