Fennec Fox

Fennec Fox
(Vulpes zerda)

North Africa and Middle East – "Faith" and "Tasha," total sweethearts and our most memorable rescues. They weigh only 3 pounds each, with huge oversized ears, teensy noses and that luscious fur. And, "Faith" has a secret: she's blind. Tame and lovable for all ages.

This species is on the CITES Appendix II List (meaning that the species may become threatened with extinction unless international trade is tightly controlled).
