Rabbits' ears are on top of their heads because they can quickly turn in any direction. Rabbits are prey animals, and this helps them hear predators better. Monkeys are not generally preyed upon, and they use their brains more to avoid danger than their ears. Since they do not rely as much on hearing, their ears are located at the sides of their heads.

Why hasn't your lop ear rabbits ears not dropped yet?

Well it could be too young, you don't quote an age. OR more than likely your rabbit has poor ear carriage. When that happens the ears will not lop properly or may lop sometimes and then do a thing called airplaning which is ears standing out on the side of head like airplane wings (neither lopped nor upright.) It has been my experience with lops that their ears will start lopping when they are quite young if your rabbit has (or will have) good ear carriage.
