With which organ does a snake hear?

Answer 1

Snakes CAN hear. Hearing is just translating vibrations from one medium into signals that your brain and interpret. People are able to hear vibrations made through the air, whereas snakes are able to hear vibrations made from the ground.

Sounds are transmitted to a snake through the skin located over the temporal region of its skull to its jaw muscle and then to its quadrate bone. A snake’s ear bone (columella) is adjacent to its quadrate bone and the ear bone picks up the sound and transmits the vibrations to the snake’s inner ear. The inner ear contains cells that are sound-sensitive. Snakes hear low frequency sounds best.

Answer 2

Snakes "hear" through vibrations. Their skin, muscles, and bones carry the vibrations to their inner ears.

Answer 3

A snake does NOT hear through it's tongue. It uses it to smell. And they don't hear, they feel vibrations.

Answer 4

Snakes dont hear but they can feel vibrations

Answer 5

if i remember right they use the senses on their skin and the skin is the largest organ of a snakes body

Answer 6

Snakes are deaf. I think they may be able to sense vibrations quite possibly through their tongue

Answer 7

Snakes do not hear.

Answer 8

they don't have any organs that they hear with they only feel vibrations through their skin and their tongue

Answer 9

The quadrate, I believe. It's just an internal ear bone (in the skull) like humans have, only they have no visible ears.

Answer 10

A snake "hears" through its tongue which feels vibrations in the air. That's why you see it darting out its tongue ever so often!
