Fennec foxes can only be found in the hot, dry Sahara Desert. They have adapted to this barren land by evolving into nocturnal animals. Their unique large ears radiate body heat. This makes their body’s keep cool in the searing heat of the desert. Many people don’t realize that the desert is not only very hot during the day, but the temperature can also drop significantly after dark. One adaptation that the Foxes have is their long thick hair which keeps them warm during these long frigid nights. These little mammals have been known to be very quick on their feet. When a predator approaches, they can escape quite easily. Even though they can only run 20 mph at most, their long bushy tail helps them change direction rapidly in order to lose, and confuse their enemy chasing them. This makes them very agile, and their movements very quick and fluid.
