Those of you trapped in human form may want to
consider a pair of these to help communicate with us
furs. (see article below) Though this dragon has no
external ear structures, despite the popular drawing
of many dragons that do.
I haven't tried the ear theory, but I have noticed
dogs often like people with more facial hair... Not
being canine, I don't really have much of an idea for
that... An experiment waiting to happen?
Scrapper, Black Dragon.
This came from New Scientist magazine, 29th August
1998, p.9
"Some animals prick up their ears to get messages
accress, so Karola Baumann of Dusseldorf believes that
we could communicate better with animals if the beasts
could see us pricking up our ears. In WO 98/21939,
Baumann and colleagues describe a device that will
transform the wearer into a latterday Doctor Dolittle.
A skullcap has two short 'masts' at either side over
the ears, each carrying a large replica of an animal's
ear. These ears can be moved as the human 'talks' to
the animal, so the beast's attention is, Baumann
claims, grabbed and held."
