Subject: best animal hearers

Question
what are the top ten animals have the best hearing and what are they?

Answer
Hi George
This is a tough question because there are so many qualifications to consider and the words "best hearing" are arbitrary.  For example we can list whales as having the best hearing since they can detect underwater sounds from miles away. Dolphins depend upon hearing for survival. We can say that bats have the best hearing since they can hear very high pitched sounds. Dogs can also.
I cannot make a list of the top ten and I doubt if there is such a list.
