| Fennec Foxes have big ears that radiate body heat so that they can keep cool in the Sahara Desert, in Northern Africa. Also, their long thick fur keeps them warm at night, and is lightly colored for camouflage and to stay cool. (Dark colors absorb the suns heat.) Living in a desert, daytime is boiling hot and night is cool. Fennec foxes are the one of the worlds smallest foxes, but have the biggest ears! Cubs have huge ears which are usually the size of their heads! In the countries they live in the wild, Northern Africa, some people keep fennec foxes as pets, like having a dog. Actually it is, foxes are closely related to dogs. |
