How well can otters hear? And what species has the coolest ears? I think sea otters have pretty funny ears.

I'd imagine that otters' sense of hearing isn't as well developed as their other sense, notably their acute sense of smell. It probably isn't bad, but when you're spending so much of your active time under the water, that doesn't leave a lot of time your hearing super well. As for my favorite otter ears, I'm a big fan of the ears of the African clawless otter

Predators usually have really good hearing. But otters probably don't need that underwater.

Some pretty ears right there. I think all otters have nice ears, they are very small and unassuming which is cute.

Otters are much better at smelling and seeing than hearing, when hunting underwater they just use their fish radar.

Otters are quite unassuming, they have a beauty you only really notice on the second glance.

Let's play a game!
Can you tell what kind of otter this ear belongs to?

Based on the slight color shifts, I’d guess an Asian small-clawed otter

Hmmm. Maybe a smooth-coated or Eurasian otter?

Nope! Eurasians have more brownish fur, and smoothies are smoother.

I’m gonna take one more shot: is it a North American River Otter?

That was a tricky one. Compared with other otters >>2166 the giant otters ears are really small for its head.
