Meanwhile, The Mole is depicted as having ears on the top of his head, whereas real-life moles have their ears on the ''sides'' of their heads and are small to the point of being invisible.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process

* In the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom, anthropomorphized shark characters tend to be portrayed with having ear-like appendages on their heads, despite the fact that sharks don't actually have any in real life. This is typically regarded as an AcceptableBreakFromReality, as having the ears helps avoid falling into the UncannyValley. The only exceptions are shark characters explicitly designed without ears, either for realism purposes or just because the artist wanted to.

Cut trope
Changed line(s) 17,18 (click to see context) from:
The point of this trope is that some animals that are clearly based on real species, whether FunnyAnimal or not, are drawn with an ear shape different from that of its RealLife counterpart for stylistic purposes (usually due to the rules of [[RuleOfCool cool]], [[RuleOfCute cute]] and just for simplified visual identification), or because they simply didn't know what that animal's ears really look like, especially in cases of SeldomSeenSpecies. For example, cartoon rats and mice with hair on the backs of their ears are a case of artistic license, because in RealLife the backs of their ears look hairless. Additionally, setting "furry" aside, cartoon humans can also have ears which look unlike almost any human ear you've seen. Also, if the character has ExpressiveEars, drawing them this way might help to enhance the level of expression.

Creator/DonBluth was desperately trying to come up with a [[SomethingCompletelyDifferent fresh]] mouse design, since Disney abused that species to death by that point. Teresa Brisby's ears, on the other hand, are never shown. They might be obscured by the bow on her head.
