People with large ears live long.
Dr Abe V Rotor
Study the ears of old people, especially centenarians.
Well, in the animal kingdom, elephants, which have very large ears live as long as 70 years - so with the giraffes, lions and hippopotamuses, which have relatively smaller ears. Large ears (pinnae) can pick up sounds better. Having large ears helps us in coping with certain situations, especially in times of danger. The long ears of the rabbit helps regulate body temperature, by conserving or radiate heat, as it may be the case. In varying ways, this biological phenomenon applies to other animals, including us humans.
Elephants, which have very large ears live as long as 70 years -
so with the giraffes, lions, and other animals, domestic and wild,
which have smaller ears.
