One thing about Knuckles that bothers me: WHERE THE HECK ARE HIS EARS? lol

Ok Im a aussie and in Austrlia echidnas are really from here, echidnas have tiny little holes for ears under thier spikes, for knuckles under his dredlocks. they can here but they are tiny little holes

hmmm good question..give me 2 minutes

Well, I've seen pics of echidnas in real life, and u can't really see ears on them.......... So I guess SEGA wanted him to look more like an echidna by not giving him ears. ;)

Real achidnas have tiny holes under their spikes, but some have small round ears, i like to think that knuckles has round ears under his spines, but besides that it doesn't look like the creators of knuckles made him have any ears at all. I just like the thought of, if you raise uo knuckles spines, he would have small round ears.
