FENNEC FOX (Vulpes zerda). All senses are aware. Big ears, or external pinna, not only make for more acute and directional hearing but provide a bigger surface for body heat loss and release in desert conditions.
FENNEC FOX (Vulpes zerda). All senses aware. Big ears, or external pinna, not only make for more acute and dIrectional hearing but provide a bigger surface area for losing excess body heat in hot desert conditions. Proportionately large eyes gather more light to see nocturnally active prey items in the form of small reptiles and invertebrates.
