What animal has 4 ears?

Published in Animal Anomalies 1 min read

The animal that can have 4 ears is a cat.

Explanation

While not typical, some cats are born with four ears. This is a rare genetic anomaly resulting in the development of two extra auricles (outer ears). These extra ears are usually located near the normal ears and can vary in size and shape. The video referenced highlights a cat with this condition.

Additional Information

  • Genetic Mutation: The presence of four ears is usually due to a genetic mutation during embryonic development.
  • Not Always Functional: The extra ears may or may not be fully functional in terms of hearing.
  • Other Anomalies: Animals with such mutations can sometimes have other associated health issues, but often, these cats live normal lives.
