Fennec foxes, small nocturnal canids, are perfectly adapted to life in the Sahara Desert. They have unusually large ears, which help them dissipate heat and also listen for prey underground. Their thick, sandy-colored fur provides excellent camouflage and insulates them from the cold desert nights. Fennec foxes typically hunt at night to avoid the scorching daytime temperatures and can go for long periods without drinking water, obtaining most of their moisture from the food they eat, such as insects, rodents, and plants. They live in burrows they dig themselves to escape the heat.
