Best Answer

Rabbits have veins running through their ears too keep their body temperatures cool. Rabbits that live in hot environments generally have larger ears to cool their bodies faster. Therefore, rabbits living in a cold place like the arctic have smaller ears because they don't need to keep their body temps cool as much.

They have smaller ears than an average hare because if they were normal sized - the frost would bite them and they'd freeze, then fall off.

How small are the smallest digital hearing aids on the market?

The smallest digital hearing aids on the market are the ones that fit completely in the ear canal. I could not find any size specifications, but you can imagine how small they must be to fit completely inside your ear canal. There are some other models with a receiver that is just as small, but they also have the tubes and behind the ear portion of the aid which increases the overall size.

How does the size of a fox's ear help it maintain body temperature?

The larger their ear is, the more heat will escape their body and they'll become cooler. A desert fox lives in hot climates, so it has large ears. An arctic fox has small ears, so it would have less heat escaping its body.


Why is the Arctic fox ear small?

The ears, as well as other parts of the body of an Arctic fox, are small to make for a smaller surface area to volume ratio. This means that less of the surface of the fox's body is exposed, which helps to trap heat in its cold environment.
