INFO ABOUT THE ANIMAL:
Name: Fennec fox (Vulpes zerda or fennecus zerda)
Location: Sahara Desert - North Africa and Sinai
Size: 40 cm long body + 25 cm long tail weight: 1,5 kg
Diet: rodents, insects, birds, eggs, desert vegetation (fruit, roots, berries)
Conservation status: Least Concern
Interesting facts: female fox gives birth to 2-5 kits and both parents then take care of the babies: mother does not allow the male to come closer to cubs, but the male still brings her some food | fennec foxes use their huge ears for good hearing and also for thermoregulation! | fennec foxes have fur on their paws, so they can run on hot sand | fennec foxes have black tips on their tails | fennec foxes are mostly active during night | fennec fox is said to be the only species of fox, which can be kept as real domestical pet | fennec foxes are surprisingly swift, as they can run fast and jump very hight | fennec foxes are the smallest species of all foxes | chihuahuas (dogs) are NOT related to fennec foxes, athough some people think so!
ZOO: in the Czech republic, fennec fox is kept in ZOO Prague, ZOO Olomouc and ZOO Dvur Kralove nad Labem.

"chihuahuas (dogs) are NOT related to fennec foxes, athough some people think so!" Kongrad Lorents famoust scientist from Germany that has already passed unfortunately suspected that dog we know has two origins. Gold-shakals and better known Wolfs. There are really many facts to support this theory but for sure we can't know? I think myself that its well possible that dog preeding could have some genes from even Fennec fox family but that would be probably very distant and I dont think that any of currend breeds exept direct wolf-dog hybrids have blood from other creatures. Fennec Fox looks so adapted to its surroundings and if it acts at all like fox I dont think such of thing would happen on wild almoust at all... but under human affection from early childhood... maybe.
Oh sorry about this comment here not relating to photo directly.
This photo is so nice as usually that I hardly bother to comment >.< I dislike commenting when there are already tens of comments and faforites. Or when ones skills really are better then my own. It would be like chick teaching chicken.
