This little Fennec Fox (Vulpes zerda) is only about 20cm tall and weighs 1.5 kg when fully grown.
They are native to the deserts of Africa and are nocturnal animals that live together in families, the adults being monogamous. Their enormous ears radiate body heat and help keep them cool.
This one lives with some others in the Honolulu Zoo and was acting true to type by sleeping during the day :)

He's curled up just like my cat! Nice capture of this more unusual fox.

This is not only a photo of a fox, this is a work of art. I am in awe of your talent Lyn, this is definitely a favorite for me. The simplicity, pose, colors, details, configuration, etc. you know what I mean, give us a unique and original capture. Bravo!

I envy this fox, not because of its large ears, but for having/enjoying an outdoors nap in an optimal climate, Lyn, ☺ .
Fine and cute capture!

Like dogs and cats it creates a soft and warm bed by curling itself up tight, tail over the nose... well... except for my goofy border collies Amos and Andie, who often lay splayed open, with legs running in every direction and tongue lolling. Your wee fox is so much more dignified.
