Description
Photo taken in August, 2012 @ Natura Artis Magistra, Royal Amsterdam Zoo, The NetherlandsEDITED
Just the colors a bit.
The Fennec Fox has never proven himself to be very curious; he could sleep in the same place for HOURS. Luckily, his kits are entirely different. The were running amok in their enclosure. Made for quite a sight
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.

Glad to have made you happy
I've got a Fennec Fox plushie too, a WWF one, bought it a couple of years ago. It still looks good, and it's a spitting image of this amazing fox!

Every time I go to see the fennecs, they're always asleep.

I have that a lot too
But this time, I went early. That's when I saw them in full action

That's exactly what he'd do when I was there; and every so often, he'd look up, as if telling us to be quiet.

I know exactly what it's like
Try going around their lunchtime; all animals will be fed, and that's the time when they're superactive (eleven in the morning-ish).
