Fennec Fox
Mammal
A tiny nocturnal fox native to the Sahara Desert, easily recognizable by its massive ears.
💡 Fun Facts
- Their large ears act like radiators to dissipate heat and help them hear prey underground.
- Their kidneys are adapted to restrict water loss, so they don't need to drink free-standing water.
- They have thick fur on the soles of their feet to protect them from the burning desert sand.
