shh
be very quiet
the fennec fox is sleeping
those ears can hear a mouse sneeze on
the damn moon
behold the smallest and clearly the
cutest fox on earth weighing in at just
two pounds
it's a native of the deserts of northern
africa
and actually those ears are a big help
in the heat they act kind of like
radiators when air hits the ears it
cools down the blood inside
then the chilled blood circulates
through the whole body
elephants do the same thing
when you see one flapping its ears it's
probably trying to cool off or take
flight like dumbo
the fox's ears also make it a formidable
nocturnal hunter
its keen sense of hearing lets it locate
insects and reptiles in the darkness
and weirdly for a mammal it's got fur on
the bottom of its paws
that keeps the fox's feet from baking on
the desert sand and gives the fox better
grip
but for now it's time for a snooze
so everyone be quiet
the fox can hear really well i just
stopped talking shouldn't i okay
i'm done now
