The same (young-ish) Fennec Fox as from "It's been a looong day", though this time from the front. Lovely ears, right?
There's just no getting around them.

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.
