Foxes The KIT FOX and the FENNEC FOX have adapted well to harsh desert life GIGANTIC ears Both of the foxes have developed gigantic ears which allow them to hear very well.With their good hearing, they can hunt more easily for prey. The ears also help them to stay cool on hot afternoons. Did You Know? The Fennec's ear length is actually 1/3 of its whole body length! CAMOUFLAGE Both kit fox and the Fennec fox have a sandy-coloured coat to provide camouflage in the desert. This makes them safer as their predators cannot see them so easily among the sand.
