      Ears are not weird! It’s actually a very smart natural engineering. They’re like that because of their functions, that is to catch sound wave and conduct it to the brain 🙂

      I think some scientists are trying to explore if we can have ear biometrics, like an ‘ear print’ I am not sure it will replace finger prints through

      I figure they are designed in the most efficient way to trap sound waves. They are a really unique shape aren’t they!
