🦊 Did You Know? Fennec Fox Edition!

Meet the fennec fox, the smallest fox in the world with some seriously big ears!

🌙 Night Explorer
Fennec foxes are nocturnal, meaning they spend their nights hunting and exploring the desert.

👂 Giant Ears, Superpower Hearing
Their oversized ears (up to 15 cm long!) help them stay cool and hear prey moving underground.

🏜️ Born for the Desert
They live in the Sahara Desert and can survive with very little water—most hydration comes from food.

🐾 Tiny but Mighty
Adult fennec foxes weigh only about 1–1.5 kg… lighter than a loaf of bread!

💨 Digging Masters
They build huge underground burrows to escape the extreme desert heat.

🥕 Omnivores at Heart
From insects to plants and small mammals, their menu is surprisingly diverse.
