Description Must be dedicated to of course

There is scientific debate as to whether the Fennec Fox is a true fox: It has uncharacteristic behaviours, such as packs called 'harems' while all other foxes are solitary... It also has only 32 chromosome pairs, while other foxes have 35 to 39!
Obviously as it`s nocturnal despite numerous visits have NEVER seen this one awake


Fennec Fox IUCN Red List Conservation status - Least Concern

Thats a cute fox.
Maybe its related to other foxes similar to how Great Pandas are related to bears?

True - its a lot cuter than usual foxes with huge ears like that.
Does make you wonder why these things are called the names they are!

One of my favourite zoo critters, cute even if it mainly sleeps...
Suppose you need ears that big when your main food source is beetles hiding in the sand
