It depends on the species. Arctic foxes have small ears while fennec foxes have huge ears.
Foxes ears are at the top of their head!
yes thay got ears
Fennec Foxes ears can usually grow to an average of 10-15cm. :) LOL
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.
They have smaller ears to conserve heat. Foxes from warmer areas have larger ears to help dissipate heat.
Foxes
up to half a foot
All foxes pant and some raise their ears in-order to cool-down.

Animals like polar bears and Arctic foxes have small ears to minimize heat loss in their cold environments. This adaptation helps prevent frostbite and regulate body temperature in extreme conditions.
When a fox's ears move forward, just like when dogs move their ears forward, they're attempting to focus all of their ears to one spot. This helps them hear faint sounds, which for foxes mostly helps in hunting the small, skittish animals that make up their diet.
Foxes didn't choose to have "large" ears and they don't. You may have seen the Fennec fox, they do have quite big ears. Why? They are desert foxes and must hear their prey. The desert is pretty calm and quiet, so the Fennec must hear for any prey possible. But no, not all foxes have large ears.
