EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1893, showcases the unique and enchanting features of the Fennec Fox (Canis zerda), a small nocturnal fox native to the desert regions of North Africa. The Fennec Fox is easily recognized by its distinctive large ears, which can measure up to 6 inches long, providing an exceptional hearing ability that aids in detecting prey and predators in the vast, sandy expanses of its habitat. The Fennec Fox is a historical creature, with records of its existence dating back to ancient Egypt, where it was revered and depicted in various art and literature. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the natural world of the early 20th century. The Fennec Fox is a member of the Canidae family, which includes wolves, foxes, and other types of wild and domesticated dogs. Despite its fox-like appearance, it is more closely related to wolves and jackals than to true foxes. The Fennec Fox is well adapted to its desert environment, with large, padded paws that help it move easily over the sand, and the ability to go for long periods without water. Its long, bushy tail acts as a rudder when it runs, helping it navigate through the sand dunes. Despite its small size, the Fennec Fox is a skilled hunter, preying on rodents, birds, reptiles, and insects. It is also an important prey species for larger predators, such as the African Wild Dog and the Caracal. This photograph not only showcases the unique physical features of the Fennec Fox but also captures the essence of its mysterious and elusive nature, making it a fascinating addition to any collection of natural history images.
