People sometimes describe themselves as having a high forehead. But have you ever thought about the forehead size of animals? Believe it or not, there are many species out there that take the definition of \u201chigh forehead\u201d<\/em> to the next level. So, without further ado, let\u2019s talk about some of these animals with big foreheads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animals With Big Foreheads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orangutans are found in some of the rainforests of Asia. Though covered in reddish fur, many of them have bare skin on their faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, they often have the appearance of having very high foreheads, especially when they are young. As they grow older, the cheek pads they develop may diminish the appearance of their foreheads.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orangutans spend much of their time searching for food<\/a>. They are incredibly smart creatures who are able to create and use tools, as well as pass learned knowledge onto their young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Beluga Whales<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Beluga whales are found in arctic and subarctic regions of the world\u2019s oceans. These smart and adorable mammals have such a prominent forehead that there is actually a name for it: the melon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belugas can alter the shape of their melon by breathing in and releasing air through their sinuses. The large globular forehead is used for picking up on vibrations in the water, which can help the whale sense approaching danger or food sources.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beluga whales can stay underwater for nearly half an hour without coming up for air. They eat a variety of aquatic animals such as water worms, crustaceans, and various types of fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
