The fennec fox is a nocturnal animal. The fennec fox is a pack animal they can live in groups of 10 -15.The young stay with their parents for a short period of time and then leave the group. The fennec fox can jump up to two feet into the air from a standing position and can run and jump up to four feet. The fennec fox gets up at dawn, dusk and night this is because it is too hot during the day to hunt. The large ears makes it easier to hear their prey in the dark night. Their
fur gives them camouflage in the sand. The fennec fox can run fast on the sand this is because of the fur in between there pads.
