Mules tend to put their ears back a lot, they come running at me with their ears back, but it isn't aggressive, it's something I had to get used to, but I might get away from a horse or mule who has their ears "pinned" back, there is definitely something to that. I also watch their nostrils, sometimes they look sort of tight and pulled up when they are not feeling well, or if they are mad, or confused, if you watch carefully you can see a calm look on their faces versus a stressed look.
