Two Part Trivia Question

Which African animals have their ears lower than their eyes? What is the significance?

P.S. I don't know the answers

Cape buffalo is one. No idea what the significance might be.

Giraffe, so it can see farther than it can hear.

Q: Which African animals have their ears lower than their eyes?

A: All of them if they are looking at the sky.

Retirement has done wonders for you Scott. Keep up the thought provoking questions.

Thanks Wendell. However it didn't last long. The SO asked me to come over and run their operations section, so its back to work I go.

Almost all prey animals have evolved with their eyes on the side of their heads so they can watch in directions behind them to some degree as well as forward. This includes birds.
Most predators have their eyes looking forward on their skulls. I guess that means we(Humans) are not vegatarians but predators.
I would suspect that most prey animals have their ears above their eyes so their have a better visual window behind them.
Perhaps some predators? Crocks?
Evolution!

Scott,

Am I reading this correct. Did you not just retire and now you have gone back to work this time for the sheriff.

Yes Hartley, you are reading this correct. When asked to serve, it is hard to decline. I have committed to two more years.
