🚨 New Arrivals Alert! 🦊🦊 Meet Artie and Ollie, our new Fennec Foxes! These desert dwellers are now living in the Predators Building at your Birmingham Zoo. Fennec foxes are small but mighty. They are the smallest species of fox and are known for their oversized ears. 1️⃣ Their extraordinary hearing helps them locate prey underground, and those big ears (4–6 inches long!) even help them stay cool in the Sahara heat. 2️⃣ Though they may look a little cat-like, they’re actually part of the Canidae family, so they are more closely related to wolves, coyotes, and dogs. 3️⃣ Fennec foxes are super smart. Swing by the Predators Building and give a warm Birmingham welcome to Artie and Ollie! 💛 Photo credit: Klara M #ZooLife #FennecFox #PredatorsBuilding #BhamZoo #NewArrivals #AnimalFacts
