About the Fennec:

• The soles of the Fennec’s feet are completely covered with long hair to enable it to walk on sand.
• It lives in the desert and can go for a long time without drinking.
• Its big ears circulate blood and help the Fennec cool off.
• It’s nocturnal, which means it sleeps during the day, and is awake at night.
• They are not endangered, but are considered rare.
• Fennecs are the only kind of fox kept as pets.
