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.

Fennec foxes have different adaptions to grey foxes and Arctic foxes because they live in the desert, which requires very different adaptions from Arctic and grey foxes. For example, they have huge ears, to keep themselves cool, whereas Arctic foxes have small ears to keep the cold out.

First of all, they all live in different habitats.

Fennec foxes have large ears and pale ginger fur. Arctic foxes are white, and change to gray in the summer. They can still be distinguished from Gray Foxes because gray foxes are slightly orange, and are very small.

Ears are a main difference in adaptions. Fennec foxes have large ears for hearing tiny insects and "breathing" (the desert is hot). Arctic foxes have tiny ears to keep in warmth.
