Where is the frogs ear drum located?

Frogs can hear using big round ears on the sides of their head called a tympanum.

Tympanum means drum. The size and distance between the ears depends on the wavelength and frequency of a male frogs call. On some frogs, the ear is very hard to see!

frogs have special ears that are connected to their lungs. When they hear noises, not only does the eardrum vibrate, but the lung does too!

Scientists think that this special pressure system is what keeps frogs from hurting themselves with their noisy calls!
