Snakes lack external ear openings and external ears (pinnae) entirely. They possess internal ear structures and detect airborne and ground vibrations primarily through their jaw bones and body - a sensory adaptation suited to their burrowing and hunting lifestyle.

Kangaroos can typically leap about 6-9 feet high and up to 25-30 feet horizontally in a single bound. The figures of 100 ft vertical and 420 ft horizontal are wild exaggerations far beyond their actual capabilities.
