The Desert Fox from Schleich lives in the sandy deserts of North Africa. It has an excellent sense of hearing and can even detect prey that lives underground. The large ears also release body heat, making the fox perfectly adapted to the hot temperatures in its native habitat. The little predator feeds primarily on insects, small rodents, reptiles, birds and fruit. The desert fox is also known as the fennec fox.
Fun fact: the ears of the desert fox make up 20% of its body area.
The Schleich figures are modelled in detail and look almost exactly like their animal models. So perfect for educational play.
