There Are 18 Muscles In A Dog’s Ear
When canines are pups there are two things that never appear to coordinate and that’s the pooch’s paws and its flaps. Generally canines these body parts will develop a bit after some time yet the canine more so needs to develop into them– particularly the flaps. In any case, did you realize that a canine’s flap has 18 distinct muscles that meet up to do all those charming little waves and winks that we’ve developed to adore?
For reference the human hand operates with only 34 muscles. So that’s a vast amount of strength just for a dog to be able to twitch its ears but we’re so delighted that’s the way it worked out regardless!
