    between 35 and 41 cm long, more than 18 to 30 cm in tail,

    features are its sand-colored coat. , lighter on the face
    and belly, its long and woolly tail with which it shelters
    itself when it sleeps, its very short nose, hairy foot pads
    and above all its enormous ears
    What it eats and how it
    hunts it
    It is a nocturnal animal that feeds on insects, reptiles,
    rodents, birds and their eggs. Its sense of hearing is
    so fine that it can even hear its prey in its burrows. It
    complements its diet with fruits (dates, berries, etc.)
    that it finds in the oases, where it also supplies itself
    with water, although it can live without it. They can
    jump up to 60 cm in height and 120 cm in length, which
    which helps them hunt and flee from their enemies.

    caracal and the African
    species of the genus Bubo

    The species is distributed
    between Africa and Asia,
    Algeria) to the Sinai
    Peninsula and no further
    than northern Niger.

    The typical fennec burrow

    open areas and in areas
    protected by vegetation
    (fixed dunes), and usually
    have several entrances, if
    the substrate allows it.
