The fennec fox has large ears that serve multiple purposes in its arid desert environment. These oversized ears help dissipate heat, allowing the fox to regulate its body temperature in high temperatures. Additionally, the acute hearing provided by these ears enables the fennec fox to detect prey and predators from a distance, enhancing its survival in the wild. Their ears also assist in communication and social interactions within their species.

The fennec has large ears for detecting possible prey or predator species. They also allow the fennec to reduce the body heat because the blood passes close to the surface of the skin through their ears. Remember a larger surface area allows more heat loss.
A fennec fox with small ears would overheat in its hot Saharan desert habitat. The fox's large ears help the fox to lose heat and stay cool.

The difference between the fennec fox and the arctic fox it that the fennec fox lives in hot conditions, and the arctic fox live in colder conditions. Also, they don't look like each other, the fennec fox has large ears so it can loose heat fast from it giant span, and it is has a much smaller skeleton to the arctic fox. Also, the fennec fox is an gingery colour. The arctic fox has small ears so it doesn't loose as much heat so it can stay warm in it harsh environment, it has white fur, and a much bigger skeleton to the fennec fox.
Yes I do but their ears bother me a bit but, they are like chihuahuas!
