Lop Rabbit
Lop rabbit or lop-eared rabbit refers to any rabbit with ears that droop, as opposed to being carried erect. A number of rabbit breeds (listed below) are characterized by such lop ears. Abnormalities in the skull of a half-lop rabbit were studied by Charles Darwin in 1868. Ear carriage The defining feature of the lop rabbit is its ear carriage. Unlike the erect ear of the majority of domestic rabbit breeds, lop breeds have ears loosely drooping, with the opening of the ear facing the skull. Due to the slightly-raised cartilaginous ear base, the head of many lop rabbits (with the exception of English Lops) has a small bulge, referred to as the ''crown''. The head of a typical lop rabbit is said to resemble that of a male sheep in profile, thus the German term for a lop rabbit ''(Widder,'' meaning ''Aries he ram'', the French term ''(bélier,'' meaning ''ram'') and the Italian term (''ariete'', from Latin ''aries'').
