Could either of your parents?
Grandparents?
I can, and I am the only one of 17 same generation descendants (my cousins) of my grandfather who can.
I can.
As for the rest of the family they are too dignified folk to try it or admit that they have. I’m the only goofy one.
We all used to try when we were kids. I was the only one successful. I like being goofy!
I can wiggle each ear independently and I can also curl my tongue into a tube.
I can cross my eyes at will two ways: one up and one down, or both inward.
I can as well, but have never asked anyone else in my family. I seem to remember as a kid that the ability goes away as you reach adulthood, but looking back, that doesn’t make any sense.
I can wiggle mine very well. And it doesn’t seem easy to explain to non-wigglers how to do it. The muscles seem to exist solely for ear wiggling.
My brother started doing this at 10 or so, and there are few things that can encourage you to learn a skill better than seeing your older brother do it.
Since this appears to be a type of poll, I’ve asked for it to be moved to IMHO.
And, no, I cannot wiggle my ears. My dad can, my mother cannot, and I believe my paternal grandfather can. I don’t know about anyone else, and I can’t go check anymore 
No.
But I can wiggle other people’s ears.
Not only can I wiggle my ears, but I hereby challenge anyone to a match of ear wrestling!
I always wanted to be able to wiggle my ears. All that happens when I try is that I get an earnest look on my face…no wiggling.
Is it a genetic thing? If so, how would that work? Is there a gene that enables a certain muscle to be wiggled?
Neither my ex nor I can wiggle our ears, but when our daughter was 7, she realized she could. It was a proud, proud day.
Great, now I have the image of people ear wrestling burned in my head and that’s making me go cross eyed.
I can, and if I move both of them at once my whole scalp wiggles I can also do them one at a time. Also I can wiggle my nose like a bunny, flare nostrils (seperately or together) and everything else EXCEPT I can not, for the life of me, wink. Only by moving my cheek up to cover the eye can I approximate a wink.
For those who want to learn to ear wiggle, try faking a very bright, surprised smile. Your ears go back when you do this. Do it many times in a row while concentrating on which muscles pull the ears back. Eventually you should be able to identify and isolate them for voluntary control. I’m pretty sure that the vast majority of people can learn this one.
Certain tongue movements are limited by genetics, and no amount of practice will enable you to do them. (LIke the “clover” wrinkle.)
This is a great way to pass the time during boring sermons at church. . .

So it all starts with pudding face?
As for me, I can wiggle my ears only if I grab them with my hands. Nobody in my immediate family can wiggle their ears, curl their tongue or any of those other little oddities.
I can wiggle my ears. I think my father could but not my mother. No idea about grandparents.
I can. Dad could. I can’t remember Mom ever trying, so I don’t know if she can or not.
I can wiggle my ears; when I do, my glasses shift back and forth. I’d been able to move my whole scalp up and down for a while, and when I did, my ears moved as well. At some point, I figured out how to isolate the muscles that moved my ears (though I can only move them together, not individually).
Not a General Question. Moved to MPSIMS

Wiggled to MPSIMS!
(And in answer to the OP, no, I can’t. I can crack my nose though, like other people crack their knuckles.)
Nope. I can’t, my brother can’t, neither of my parents can. We’re all lacking that crucial ear-wiggling gene.
I cannot but my father could. It delighted us kids to no end. Glad you asked.
