    Snakes do not have external ears but do have inner ear structures that allow them to hear vibrations through their jaws. They can sense low frequency vibrations but have a limited range of hearing compared to humans. While snakes lack ears, middle ear, and eardrum, they can still detect vibrations through their jawbones which are connected to inner ear structures.

    Snakes do not have an external ear, but


    they do have all the parts of the inner ear
    that we do. Their stapes—called a
    “columella”—is slightly different from ours in
    that it connects to the jawbone, enabling
    them to sense vibrations. However, they can
    only hear a portion of the sounds we hear.
