Some of the basic adaptations of the desert fox are its brown thin coat. This is because it needs to stay as cool as possible in the desert. The coat reflects heat in the daytime and insulates the fox at night. They have big ears as it helps to dissipate heat on hot days. It is also able to use it's tale to turn direction quickly when running.

∙ 9y agoThe desert fox, or Fennec Fox, has large ears, which serves to dissipate heat. It's short, sandy-colored coat reflects heat during the day and conserves it at night. The soles on the bottom of its feet are protected by thick fur from the hot ground. Simply the fact that it's nocturnal helps it to survive, as it spends the day seeking shade and staying in it rather than hunting or foraging for herbivorous food sources.
