Zoological researchers from Purdue University in Indiana in the United States of America have determined why cats have “bald patches” in front of their ears. The LiveScience portal writes about this.
In addition to domestic cats, short hair in front of the ears is observed in a number of wild cats – lynxes, ocelots. However, this feature is not recorded in jaguars, tigers and lions.
Scientists have found that reducing fur in this area allows cats to better hear ultrasonic signals and detect their sources. This makes it easier for them to catch small rodents.
Experts also explained that because large predators like tigers and lions most often pursue medium-sized animals, they do not require “bald patches” in front of the ears.
