Learn why donkeys have big ears that help them hear sounds from far away in a simple and fun way for 4-year-old children.
Hi there! Let's talk about donkeys and their big ears. Donkeys have very big ears—much bigger than ours! These big ears are really special because they help donkeys hear sounds from very far away.
Imagine you're playing outside and hear a dog barking far away. Donkeys can hear things like that, even when the sounds are very quiet or coming from far away. Their ears catch the sounds and send the messages to their brain, so they know when something is coming or if a friend is nearby.
So, donkeys use their big ears like people use their eyes to see far places. This helps keep them safe and helps them talk to other donkeys!
