Get to Know Me

The Fennec Fox is a small fox species native to the Sahara Desert and other arid regions of North Africa.

It is known for its distinctive large ears, which help dissipate heat and enhance its hearing. The Fennec Fox has a pale yellowish-brown coat, which camouflages well with its desert habitat.

Lifespan

In captivity, Fennec Foxes can live up to 12-14 years. However, in the wild, their lifespan is generally shorter, typically ranging from 7 to 10 years.

Weight & Diet

Fennec Foxes typically weigh between 0.7 to 1.6 kilograms.

They have a primarily carnivorous diet, feeding on a variety of prey including insects, small rodents, birds, and occasionally fruits and vegetation. Their diet may vary depending on availability, but they are skilled hunters, using their keen senses to locate prey in the desert environment.
