A small desert fox from North Africa and the Middle East, famous for its enormous ears and small size.
From Arabic 'fanak' (fox); the fennec fox entered English through Arabic terminology, and the animal is scientifically named 'Vulpes zerda.'
Fennec foxes have ears that are literally one-third the size of their entire body—proportionally, it's like if your ears were bigger than your head—and they use them to hear prey moving underground and to radiate away desert heat!
