Description
Bat-eared Fox (Otocyon megalotis)

Hello, my name is: Dhalyla

Fun Fact!: Sleeping during the heat of the day, bat-eared foxes also rely on their ears to keep them cool. Body heat escapes through the thin skin, cooling blood in their veins and thus cooling their bodies.

Conservation Note!: These animals are locally common, and are in no immediate danger of becoming endangered, but conservation of all wildlife is equally important. Remember: we don't know what we have until it's gone.

Taken at Utah's Hogle Zoo
