bat ears
Prominent pointed auricles
Bat ears are large, prominent ears that stick out from the head, resembling the oversized ears of a bat.
The term describes both a physical trait in humans—sometimes affectionately, sometimes mockingly—and a desirable breed standard in certain dogs, particularly French bulldogs and Chihuahuas: The French bulldog's bat ears stood straight up.
