They can hear remarkably well.īut does this mean that what sounds pleasurable to humans sounds equally pleasurable to your bearded dragon? Let’s talk more about different kinds of sounds that work for bearded dragons and which ones don’t. The human ear can pick up a range from about 20 to 20,000 Hz.Ĭan they hear you and the music you play? Absolutely. In general, the average lizard can hear a range of 100 to 4,000 hertz. Actually, bearded dragons have a very similar internal ear structure to our own.īoth our ears and theirs rely on small bones and membranes to transmit sound from ear fluid to transmitters to the brain. If you look further back in their head, you’ll see a small hole that is covered by a thin, sheer membrane called the tympanic membrane, which humans have as well. Take a close look at your bearded dragon’s head: do you see anything that resembles ears?Įven though your bearded dragon doesn’t have ears that look like yours or mine, they do have ears. So let’s talk more about reptiles, bearded dragons, and what their hearing structure is like. While the study right now is tailored only to mammals (most of the study focuses on cats and dogs) and designing tones that fit them, it does make sense that if other mammals enjoy the sounds of music, reptiles probably do, too. Since humans enjoy music that falls under our vocal and acoustic range, it makes sense that animals would enjoy tones as well so long as it falls under their specific vocal and acoustic range. Recent research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has discovered that animals do share our love for music and enjoy what the study calls “species-specific music”, which are tunes designed for specific species. Species-Specific MusicĬontrary to popular belief, a lot of animals do indeed like music. In this post we’ll talk about the auditory structure of bearded dragons, the various kinds of noise that some bearded dragons enjoy, and most importantly how to tell if your bearded dragon likes music or if they don’t like it at all. Some bearded dragons enjoy music while others don’t. This raises the question: Do bearded dragons enjoy music? It depends. It might be the case that reptiles are no different. Recent studies have shown that mammals, primarily cats and dogs, respond positively to music. Music brings a lot of joy to a lot of people.
