  2. It is available in many sizes and shapes.
  3. Elephants, for example, have a large pinna, but monkeys have a small pinna.
  4. The pinna might be fixed or adjustable.
  5. The pinna's job is to collect sound and concentrate it on the eardrum by serving as a funnel.
  6. Birds, reptiles, insects, and amphibians, for example, do not have an external ear.
  7. Although these animals have funnel-shaped ears that aid in sound processing, but they lack external ears.
