Abstract

Ear sizes differ significantly in male and female, frogs, Rana catesbeiana. If ears are a means of warning of impending predation, one would expect the ears of both sexes to be the same size. Or, if hearing is essential in feeding behavior no difference in ear size would be expected. Actually male frogs of this species possess greater hearing capability than female frogs. Research is mentioned, and relevance of all these ideas to a creationist framework is explicated.
