Horse

Horses are capable of hearing sounds from up to 2.5 miles away. They use their hearing for three main purposes: to detect noises, identify their position, and offer sensory information that helps the horse to distinguish the sounds' identities. They have ears that can swivel 180 degrees using 10 different muscles (compared to three muscles for the human ear) and can single out a specific area to listen to. This allows the horse to orient itself toward the sounds to be able to determine what is making the noises and can hear noises up to 25 kHz. This enables them to pinpoint the exact location of the sound source.

Horses, being flying animals, they are the best hearing animals. They use their hearing to determine whether the sound is dangerous and whether they should leave. This is especially important for wild horses who may be threatened by predators such as mountain lions, wolves, and bears. Horses employ a variety of sounds to communicate, and their capacity to hear and respond to other horses is crucial.
