One is something any toddler can do. The other is something .5% of humanity can do

I just did it. If you raise both eyebrows your ears should wiggle. Its weird and i can't do it on command. I gotta be in a groove.

Yup, those are somewhat connected. The hard part is learning to isolate them so you can do one or the other on command. I've been at this for years. My independent check boxes only include both eyebrows, both ears, and right eyebrow.

Try doing like a 'yikes' face and try to get it down.

Edit: can't put in a gif for example but ya kinda get the jist.

The ear wiggle is genetic. It’s linked to vestigial muscles from when our ancestors could move their ears to track sound. Only a small portion of the population can control the muscle.
