=== Antenna for hearing=== [[Image:Luchik-the-Moose-and-Dr-Minaev-hp3188.jpg|thumb|A six-year old moose undergoing domestication at [[Kostroma Moose Farm]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.moose-farm.ru/e000.htm|title=Moose as a domestic animal|publisher=The Kostroma moose farm|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161210121333/http://www.moose-farm.ru/e000.htm|archive-date=December 10, 2016}}</ref>]] In [[moose]], antlers may act as large hearing aids. Equipped with large, highly adjustable external ears, moose have highly sensitive hearing. Moose with antlers have more sensitive hearing than moose without, and a study of trophy antlers with an artificial ear confirmed that the large flattened (palmate) antler behaves like a parabolic reflector.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1007/s10344-007-0165-4 |title=Palmated antlers of moose may serve as a parabolic reflector of sounds |journal=European Journal of Wildlife Research |volume=54 |issue=3 |pages=533β5 |year=2008 |last1=Bubenik |first1=George A. |last2=Bubenik |first2=Peter G. |s2cid=44737101 |url=https://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1221&context=scimath_facpub}} *{{cite news |author=James Randerson |date=March 20, 2008 |title=Moose's sharp hearing is attributed to antlers |newspaper=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/science/2008/mar/21/medicalresearch.animalbehaviour}}</ref>
