Ready? Here comes the paragraph from the fox nerd.

Fennecs have larger ears, not only to hear better, but to cool off. Blood passes close to the skin and cools it down. It has fur on its paws to keep from sliding on sand. It's tongue curls when it pants to save liquid (saliva). It eats many things, including fruit, bugs, and small animals. It can go years without drinking, though will drink if water is available. They have a musk gland at the tip of their tail, which is used when excited or scared. It lives in groups of up to ten, though does not hunt with them. It can dig very fast, up to twenty feet a day. Some claim it 'dissapears' in the sand.

The Fennec fox has huge ears so they can cool off during the day and so at night they can hear predators. they have long thick fur so they can stay warm at night. they also have hair on their feet. that way they don't sink in the sand. they are also called snow shoes.

They have fur on the bottoms of their paws to protect them from hot sand. They also have very large ears which allows them to release unwanted heat through them.

The large size of its ears serve to dissipate heat, as they have many blood vessels close to the skin.
