What's Cuter than a Fennec Fox?

Trick question - nothing! This little guy was born at the Everland Zoo in South Korea in September of 2008.  Nocturnal hunters, fennec foxes detect tasty insects and small rodents with their ridiculously oversized ears.

Cutest. Thing. EVER.

yeah, they're cute... til you hear the noise they make.

fennec foxes shriek. or yowl. or scream or wail. call it what you want, it can be quite awful.

ok so not all their noises are that bad, but sweet jesus, some of the sounds that erupt from this little ball of fur are disturbing.

Wow those things are cool! How small are they? This may seem like a weird questions but can you get one as a pet? haha

If only they could speak! Looks so expressive you wonder what they are thinking.

Note the eerie blue glow in the third picture. The blue glow does not appear in the other picutures, indicating the creature has control over it. A dead giveaway for an alien infant. Note also Nelle's comment. Clearly she is suffering minor injuries from weak sonic attacks. Its sonic powers will stronger, and its blue glow will grow brighter as it matures. Soon it will be able to shatter glass with its screams, and microwave food with its glow. Extreme caution is advised.

I was going to say that this one is too cute for his own good, but then a couple of those comments have me scared. Maybe the shrieking is Nature's way of balancing out that cute so we don't overdose.

I'm speechless.

[Holy Cuteness]

I love those ears!

[Kiwi]

Wow,weird looking creature! I've never seen one before, but I've seen something similar. They have a skunky odor to them when we saw them in a zoo, something I didn't expect.

[marilu]

if my mother saw it she'd be thinking about how many it'd take to make her a coat. Cute little bugger though

Looks like a Chiuaua, I think.

They make excellent pets. I've had 2 over the years and a neat thing about them is that they love kids. They're also super smart (sly like a fox...). The biggest problem is that they are mostly nocturnal and sleep through most of the day. But at nightfall they will play with reckless abandon.
They will groom themselves, just like cats. As far as noise goes, I have never seen a creature with such a wide range of sounds. When they are upset, they will have this loud shriek-like bark, but otherwise their sounds are very pleasant and expressive. You will be amazed at how they celebrate your return after a day away fron home:like a dog on speed-it's hilarious and touching too...

too stinkin cute.

[Angelina Gomes Jackson]

He is soooo cute! I mean, WOW!

[Hilary Minor]

I don't think I've seen anything so lovely for a long time. I think I'll have two of those for my birthday, please! What a little gremlin!

[Pezely]

"awwwww" that was the first thing i said so cutee.

[scraps]

Nothing is cuter than a fennec fox

[Chris Eastland]

The more I see these guys in videos around the net, the more I'm thinking they'd make a really great pet.

[Sara Nevling]

Aaawwwww it's so cute! Everyone I sent this to thinks it's too cute! I was reading about them in my literacy workshop class and it says you can have it as a pet, but it depends on the state you live in, and laws that prohibit you from having one as a pet. They have a rank odor and make shrieking noises. I'd want one as a pet too

I'm going to get a fennec fox once i move out of my parents house (I'M STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL I'M NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT IS 25 AND STILL LIVE WITH THERE PARENTS) I've done all my research and I'm confident about these. Also if you need to check the laws regarding these little big-eared creature, here is the link: http://www.bornfreeusa.org/b4a2_exotic_animals_summary.php *read carefully they might say potential dangerous animals and fennec foxes are not dangerous. Still you should check to see your local police station and ask about it.

[Chris Eastland]

But the noises sound really funny/interesting from what I hear. Kind of like a growling sometimes.

[Peggy]

I agree. Nothing is more cute. Great blog!
