An ear tag for identifying animals that consists of a male element and a female element is disclosed. The male element has a protrusion designed to pass, in the tag's operative position, through the cartilage of an animal's ear. The protrusion has a head at one end preceded by a perimeter step. The female element includes an aperture with means for retaining the head of the male element's protrusion in such a way that the male element and the female element are mutually coupled when the head of the male element is made to pass through the aperture in the female element. This leaves the tag suspended with room for manoeuvre in the operative position from the animal's ear by the protrusion of the male element which determines the tag's hanging axis. The male element or female element has an electronic identification device encapsulated and lodged in a corresponding oblong receptacle. The receptacle is solidly joined to the male or female element that has the electronic identification device and forms a sharp angle in relation to the horizontal plane, in its operative position.
