Fennec Fox

The Fennec Fox, Vulpes zerda is a small species of fox found in the deserts of Northern Africa. It is a member of the Canidae family.

Description
The Fennec Fox has large, bat-like ears which serve two functions - to act as radars for listening to its surroundings and as well as to cool itself off. They have pointed snouts and a rather large head in comparison to its body size. They have four small paws covered in delicate fur.

Their fur is a dominant creamish brown colour while the tip of their tails tend to be darker.
