Why don't the Ferengi have ear holes?
It bothers me. It makes it look more obvious that it's all makeup, but also it doesn't make any sense.
share It sure does look like they don't have ear canals. But according to Quark, he had EXCELLENT hearing.
In one episode he storms into Odo's office and complains about the noise he makes in his quarters when he is practicing shape shifting at night. His quarters are right above Odo's.
He says that he hates the noise he makes when he is just "oozing' across the floor in his natural state.
Major Kira asks, "You can HEAR that?"
Quark takes hold of his ears and says, "Hello!!"
The ear canals must be there, just not visible.
And I know they have that thing that can make humans understand what the Ferengi are saying. But still, it looks a little ridiculous to have ears that big without a hole for the sound to go through.
shareAs the Ferengi using their ears also for "other things", it might be that their huge ears have actually a different main purpose.
