Let me see if I'm getting this right. If the why of it is that larger
animals
have big ears because of their size and the temperature of the climate
where they live, then giraffes and ostriches have ears that are not as large
because they are smaller and live in a cooler climate. And Indian elephants
are smaller and live in a cooler climate, which explains why theirs are
much smaller. And jackals have larger ears for their body size than
rinoceroses because they are larger than rinos and live in a hotter climate.

Now that's ...

Uh oh, wait...

No that's not right...

Dang ! For a minute there I almost thought I got it.
