Fun Facts You Didn't Know About Fennec Foxes

This may be why people are so keen to adopt them as pets, the foxes are known to purr when they're feeling happy or excited. When you come across snoozing foxes in the wild (or in your friend's house), take time to listen to their sweet sounds. If their gigantic bat-ears haven't already given it away, they have an advantage over us when it comes to hearing. The foxes can hear the simplest movement from their prey and predators, allowing them to make their attack or dart away to safety. Their ears are the largest known ears of all foxes which is ironic considering the foxes are the smallest breed, too.
