About This Reader
The Fennec Fox is a small desert animal known for its very large ears, which help it stay cool and hear exceptionally well. This fox has soft, sandy-colored fur that blends into the desert sand, providing camouflage from predators. The Fennec Fox is active at night and eats a diet consisting of insects, plants, and small animals. During the day, it stays safe and cool in its burrow. The adaptability and unique features of the Fennec Fox make it an interesting study in desert wildlife.
