Snoozing After Lunch.

By Tooma
A very cute Fennec Fox at Calderglen Country Park's small animals zoo, in East KIlbride, South Lanarkshire. I was shooting through glass and even with a polarising filter I was still picking up reflections; well they are not magic, but it did help. I'm thinking it has something of the look of greenery reflecting from a pool.

"The fennec fox is one of the smallest fox species in the world, and is native to the Sahara region of North Africa. They are most distinctive for their uniquely large ears, which allow them to dissipate their body heat in hot weather. These little foxes weigh just 3.5lb at most, and have thick, soft stroke-able coats and lithe, agile builds." Their tail is called a sweep, and can help them change direction when running at speed.

The Version is a close-up of its face. 😎

I do a bit of that myself - snoozing after lunch. I'm not as pretty as this creature though.

Interesting comment on its tail, Tom. Sounds like a rudder on a boat! Lovely details both in notes and image of this fox.

Having spent a good deal of time in the rainforest, `I find it amazing how animals has developed to accommodate their environment. Large ears to dissipate the heat - imagine that! I wonder how the human animal will change to accommodate climate change. Webbed feet maybe.
