bat ear
Large rounded pinna
Bat ears are large, erect ears that stand upright and flare outward, resembling the ears of a bat.
The term describes a distinctive ear shape in certain dog breeds like French bulldogs and corgis, prized in breed standards.
In humans, bat ears stick out prominently from the head—sometimes corrected surgically for cosmetic reasons.
