Cute fennec foxes

Six fennec foxes from Sudan of North Africa have settled in Hangzhou Safari Park. They are the smallest foxes in the world.

The big-eared nocturnal foxes, three males and three females, are all one year old and can live up to 13 years. Zoologists said their big ears can help them to cool their body temperature and pick up faint sounds made by rodents and insects.

Each fennec fox consumes about 500 grams of food a day. Their diet includes cat food, beef, mealworm and apple. They are also given one egg per week.
