Description
When: June 5, 2021
Where: GaiaZoo Kerkrade, The Netherlands
The Foxes would stand still mostly at this spot; it's sort of at the end of the path they take on a tour of their habitat; it has a lot of nice foliage and is still open enough to have a good view of them and them of us.
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.
