Yes, sharks do have ears, but they are quite different from human ears. Shark ears are not visible on the outside of their bodies like human ears; instead, they are internal structures.

Shark ears consist of two small openings located behind their eyes. These openings are called "spiracles." Spiracles serve primarily for water circulation over the gills, allowing some species of sharks to breathe even when they are resting on the ocean floor. While spiracles are not dedicated to hearing, they can pick up vibrations in the water, which helps sharks detect sounds and movements in their environment.

Sharks have a highly developed sense of hearing, and they can detect sounds and vibrations in the water, which is essential for their survival and hunting. They use their keen sense of hearing to locate prey, communicate with other sharks, and navigate their underwater surroundings.
