They are some of the most extravagant headgear in the animal kingdom, but a moose‘s antlers are not just for show. Scientists believe they act as elaborate hearing aids that help males to find calling females.
A study has found that the antlers’ sound-gathering qualities boost the hearing of the animals by 19%.
Moose, which are called elk in Europe, are well-known for their impressive hearing. Their ears are more than 60 times larger than those of a human, and their calls can travel nearly two miles.
