Sharks' amazing ability to hear under water!

What We Can't Sea

Have you ever wondered how sharks are able to hear so well underwater? Sharks have a unique ability to hear underwater, and this episode will show you how they do it.

When you think about sharks, maybe you imagine their swimming abilities, rows of sharp teeth, or dorsal fins peeking out of the water. But have you ever thought about how these top predators are able to hear? While sharks may not have ears exactly like us humans, they do have their own way of detecting sounds in their ocean environments. The shark ear is only internal, though many species have noticeable holes on their skin to indicate where these inner ears are located. The entire shark inner ear structure consists of three semicircular canals, which are big looping bones that connect to a center structure that holds four important organs.
