Why have different animals adapted to the use of a particular range of sound?

Answer 1

Evolution has created different physical structures inside the ear canals of some animals. Because of these differences, animals are able to hear different pitches, just like humans. However, some animals are able to hear pitches that the human ear cannot.

Answer 2

The use of sound depends on their environment and how much the environment will fragment and scatter (in effect, lower the efficient) the sound. For example nocturnal Oil Birds of South America use echolocation to determine where their prey (fruit) and home are. The use of echolocation was an adaptation to night-time hunting and cave living (prevents them banging into cave walls!)

Forest dwelling birds use different calls depending on who the call is directed to (mate or competitor) as well as the surrounding trees. Lower sounds travel better through dense forest. Lower sounds also warn of intruders as they make the animal sounds closer and bigger.

The drumming spider quickly vibrates leaves against its abdomen to produce a sounds that attracts females, they prefer higher elevated areas with less grass and more dry leaves as the sound travels better.

They are many reasons for the adaptations of sound ranges, these examples don't even scrape the surface!!

Answer 3

by their instinct they need what they have because if like a deer didnt have good hearing, it would never know when a lion is sneaking up on him/her. so basically their different hearing ranges were made for their survival.

Answer 4

Different animals have evolved to use a particular range of sound for communication based on their physiology and the environments they inhabit. For example, animals living in dense forests may use low-frequency sounds that travel further, while animals in open spaces may use high-frequency sounds for better localization. Adapting to a specific sound range helps animals to effectively communicate with each other and to avoid interference from other environmental noises.

Answer 5

There is no answer to 'why' as yet. Scientists are STILL discussing this...

Answer 6

because tey may have a certain pitch that means danger, another one that is a distress call etc etc....

Answer 7

The reason is is that deep inside their ears they have bigger drums and their ears can move in any direction. Like, foxes. LOL!

Answer 8

No

Answer 9

Not correct because humans and animals use ears to hear and animals can hear better because they can hear self with their smart ears.
