Description

When: May 21, 2018

Where: Avonturia De Vogelkelder Den Haag, The Netherlands


We'd been unlucky with Fennec Foxes the last few times, but visiting this new zoo, he wandere right out and was like: "Hey, you were looking for me? I'm right here! And there comes my buddy." It was just awesome; they were posing, resting, relaxing and we had the best of times with them


Species: Fennec Fox (Fennek vos of Woestijnvos)

Latin name: Vulpes Zerda

Originates from Northern Africa.

Current status: Least Concern

 Did you know: 

…The word “Fennec” is Arabic for Fox, so basically, we call him “Fox Fox”.

…Its large ears are its most distinct feature, and serve to dissipate heat.

Oh, most definitely So happy they were visible to begin with; we'd had some bad luck so far with seeing them but these guys were so awake and happy and photogenic

Huge ears indeed. I suppose they won't miss any noise.

No, they definitely don't

They're kind of like Bat-Eared Foxes that way; they hear a lot and it can stress them out. Some are more susceptible to it than others; these were actually really laid-back

Thanks

It's hard with their nearly black eyes to capture them to their full extent, but glad it worked

Yeah, my pomeranian is the same with the little black beady eyes.
