What is the proper name for up ears in bunnies?

Just as it says really. I presume they're not actually called 'uppy ears' :D Does anyone know?
 
Urm... Uppy eared bunnies? :D :D

I guess it depends... lop ears are lops but then uppy ears can be anything, Dutch are uppy eared :) But some are just mixed breed uppy earred bunnies :) xXx
 
"Erect-eared" is how I generally see it in textbooks, but I have no idea what the proper term might be! :)

Uppey ears is way better anyways. :p
 
Thanks. I like 'uppy eared' as well, I just thought I remembered reading a 'proper' name for them, but maybe not. I certainly couldn't find anything on the internet. The reason I'm asking is because a friend told me they were called Rex, whereas I thought this only referred to the type of fur.
 
What's the proper term for normal ears in a person?

They are rabbit ears, you usually only refer to them as something different if they differ from the norm eg lop.
