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.
