Specific hearing system of the whale
2002/06/01 Elhuyar Zientzia Iturria: Elhuyar aldizkaria
The ease of swimming of large whales is due to an anatomical peculiarity. According to the scientists, the ancestors of the whales were terrestrial and only approached the sea to feed. As they were losing their limbs they learned to live by the ocean. But the secret of adapting to the marine environment lies in its peculiar intrauricular system. They use a semicircular system of terrestrial mammals that gives them some balance, and that is the key that has allowed them to swim so fast in the ocean.
