Often, when overheard from far away, I find myself saying/thinking:
[S]he has the ears of a hawk!
Which doesn't really make sense as hawks aren't particularly well known for their sense of hearing.
Is there a common saying, equivalent to "eyes of a hawk", relating to someone's sense of hearing?
Best Answer
Bats are known for their impressive hearing, so that could be an option, while owls also have excellent hearing ability.
However, the animal with the best hearing is the Greater Wax Moth, which can hear sound frequencies of up to 300,000 Hz. In comparison, most humans can only hear up to 20,000 Hz.
However, I don't think
will work too well. May be best to stick with the owl.
