Hi all,
	I was just watching _Journey to Kilimanjaro_ on one of the local
PBS stations.  The claim was made in the show that the hairs in the ears
of the serval cat "filtered out" wind-in-the-grass noises so that the cat
could listen for its prey more intently.  This sounds a little strange to
me.  Is it true?  If so, who proved it, and how?

Thanks,
	Daniel
