erect ears
Upright auditory appendages
Erect ears stand upright rather than folding or drooping.
The term appears most often in descriptions of dog breeds: German Shepherds and Siberian Huskies have erect ears, while Beagles and Basset Hounds have pendant ears.
Cats, foxes, and other animals may also be described as having erect ears, often suggesting alertness.
