The tympana or ears of frogs are not adapted for hearing in the water. But in some frogspecies the males are to be known calling the females from under water, like the European species Pelobates fuscus.

Frogs have ears on the side of their heads why do they hear movement?

Frogs are just very sensitive to sounds and movement- it is natural for them as they are preyed upon by many species. The ears on the side of their head I believe aids them in sensing movement in their environment.


What kind of sound receivers do frogs have?

Frogs have eardrums on the sides of their head that detect vibrations in the air. These eardrums are then connected to organs called inner ears which process the sounds and send signals to the brain for interpretation. This allows frogs to hear a wide range of frequencies and helps them communicate with each other and detect predators.

What can frogs hear underwater?

They will simply hear what is around them. Sound, which is vibrations, can travel in water, air and through anything apart from a vacuum.Whilst underwater, frogs hear sound waves that have been emitted by other frogs and ambient noises also. Frogs use internal ears to process sound signals as well as their lungs, although the sensitivity of the lungs is not as high as that of the ear structure.They can hear fish, insects, animals and other frogs that are in the water. They hear using their big round ears called tympanum. Frogs can hear under water through the vibration that travels through the water, but they cannot hear sounds that are short and of high frequency.


Where are frogs ears located?

A frog's ears are located on the sides of its head, behind its eyes. They are round, flat spots called tympanic membranes that allow the frog to hear sounds and vibrations around them.

Where is the frogs ear drum located?

Frogs can hear using big round ears on the sides of their head called a tympanum.Tympanum means drum. The size and distance between the ears depends on the wavelength and frequency of a male frogs call. On some frogs, the ear is very hard to see!frogs have special ears that are connected to their lungs. When they hear noises, not only does the eardrum vibrate, but the lung does too!Scientists think that this special pressure system is what keeps frogs from hurting themselves with their noisy calls!

Which Animal their ears on his knees?

Cricket or Dragonfly ?Answer is a CRICKET.A cricket's ears are located in a very strange place-under the knees of its front legs.There is a parable of a scientist who set out to answer this question. He trained a group of frogs to jump on the verbal command "jump". Then, he removed the legs of half of the frogs. After his lunch, the frogs that had not had their legs removed would continue to jump on command. The frogs whose legs had been removed would not. The scientist concluded that the frogs who did not jump could no longer hear the command; frogs have ears on their legs.Crickets have their ears located on their front legs just below the knee.
