The above link exists but somehow could not be visited suddenly, at least for me.

So here's another article on animals with best hearing that is not as good:

Known for their large ears, it’s not surprising that elephants have great hearing particularly good at detecting low-frequency sounds—they can hear frequencies as low as 17 Hz.

while humans can hear as low as 20 Hz. However, their high-frequency hearing is less impressive. They can only hear up to 12,000 Hz frequencies, while humans can hear up to (20,000 Hz?. 

There is a correlation between size of space between mammals’ ears & their ability to hear high frequencies. Bats, for example, can hear much higher frequencies because their ears are closer together.

Elephants’ ears are multipurpose—not only are they used for hearing, but they are also important for thermoregulation. Their ears hold large blood vessels, and when blood circulates out from the body and into the ears, it cools down. This cooler blood is then spread through the rest of the elephant’s circulatory system.

Bats can hear som highest frequencies out of all mammals. About 70% of bat species use echolocation, ✓mean they emit very high-frequency sounds & listen for their echoes to navigate locate food in the dark. Most bat echolocation sounds extend beyond range of human hearing, reaching frequencies of up to 200,000 Hz Clapping .

Moths ,|,✓With the best hearing in the insect world, moths have even more sensitive ears than bats. Some moth species can hear frequencies as high as 300,000 Hz. The greater wax moth is reported to have the best hearing of all moth species.
