Question

The ear size of goats living in cold regions is smaller than that goats living in warm regions.Explain the advantage of having smaller ear size in cold regions?

Answer 1

The main advantage of having small size ear in cold reason is to protect the body heat to fell warm in cold surroundings.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The ear size is directly related to the heat exchange rate of our body. Greater the ear size, greater will be the surface area to dissipate the body heat.

• So, the goats living in warm areas have big size ear, so that they can release more body heat to surrounding to stay cool.

• In the same way in cold areas, goats have to conserve the body heat so they tend to have small sized ear.
