Description
When: June 12, 2022
Where: GaiaZoo Kerkrade, the Netherlands
The little one on the right had actually made space for himself, in the bush opening of the left. I like to think this was him saying thank you for not pestering him to leave again.
Species: Bat-Eared Fox (Grootoorvos of Lepelhond)
Latin name: Otocyon Megalotis
Originates from South Africa.
Current status: Least Concern
Did you know:
…The Bat-Eared Fox is predominantly monogamous.
…In contrast to other Canids, they have a reversal in parental roles, the males taking on the majority of parental care behavior.
…Some view Bat-Eared Foxes as an entirely different sort of species – the Otocyon – while others say it is in fact closely related to the true Foxes, of the genus Vulpes, and another group divides them into an outgroup which is not closely related to true Foxes at all.
