Why do elephants have Big Ears?
Although the African elephant has bigger ears than the Indian counterpart, both serve as radiators for their owners. Blood vessels weave all through the ear structure, so when the elephant flaps her ears, it effectively cools the blood in those vessels, in turn cooling the animal. Nature's way of compensating for size and climate.
