Description Photo taken in July, 2013 @ Zoo Artis, The Netherlands

Early July it was officially anounced by the Royal zoo of Amsterdam - Natura Artis Magistra, in short Zoo Artis - that the couple of Fennec Foxes had given birth to kits in the second consecutive year, after a female had been introduced in early 2012.
Finn and his Lady are no longer alone in their enclosure which is starting to get a bit crowded, with the kits of last year still present, and the new one added.
It was said there would be two kits, but I've seen only one - this one.
Need I say more than "utterly, devastatingly adorable cuteness"?

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.

I've only seen Fennec Fox kits twice - this was the second time, and they were quite a bit younger and simply, way too adorable It was hard to take a good picture though, and circumstances aren't always optimal for photography in zoos.
I think woxys might also have some Fennec Fox kit photos

Dat doen ze wel heel vaak, ja. Maar als je vroeg genoeg gaat, dan worden ze gevoerd, en zijn ze heel actief!
