To detect predators by using the large size and flexible positioning of the external ears to channel sound waves into the ear canal.

<h3>What is thermoregulation ?</h3>

Mammals regulate their body temperature carefully and independently of their environment through a process called thermoregulation. A method of maintaining a constant internal temperature necessary for survival is temperature regulation.

Poikilothermy and homeothermy are the two main reactions to changing environmental temperatures (TA) that animals display.

Progesterone tends to promote heat conservation and higher body temperatures, whilst estradiol tends to increase heat dissipation, and both hormones have an impact on thermoregulation both centrally and peripherally.
