Fennec Fox in Morocco
Fennec or fennec fox is a nocturnal mammal, characterized by very large, pointed ears, long tail, and highly social behavior. It is found in the central Sahara Desert as well as other desert and mountainous regions of North America.
Fennecs are highly social, living together in family groups of up to ten members. Fennecs tend to spend most of the daytime hours underground in burrows, while hunting at night. By sleeping during the day in burrows, they are protected from the hot sun of their desert environment.
