The Papo Fennec Fox figure is a detailed representation of one of the desert’s most fascinating creatures. With its oversized ears, the figure embodies the distinctive characteristics of the fennec fox, which uses its ears to dissipate heat and detect prey. The fox is depicted in a standing pose, its body covered in realistic textures that replicate the soft, sandy fur of the actual animal.
The sculpting highlights its compact, agile frame, while the figure's sharp eyes and delicate facial features capture the alertness and curiosity for which the fennec fox is known. The tiny paws and smooth body proportions further contribute to its lifelike appearance, making it a perfect educational or display piece for wildlife enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Papo Fennec Fox measures 2.5" L x 1.75" H.
The fennec fox is the smallest fox species in the world, native to the Sahara Desert and other arid regions of North Africa. Its most recognizable feature is its large ears, which can grow to be as long as six inches. These ears help the fennec fox keep cool in the desert heat and also aid in detecting the movement of prey beneath the sand. Despite its small size, the fennec fox is a highly skilled hunter, feeding on insects, rodents, birds, and plants.
Fennec foxes are nocturnal, which allows them to avoid the scorching daytime temperatures of their habitat. Their thick fur helps insulate them from both the cold desert nights and the hot days, while the light coloration of their coat provides camouflage in their sandy surroundings. Fennec foxes are social animals, living in small family groups within burrow systems that they dig themselves.
