  1. Wow, Anne, warm colours, nice faded background and yes, amazing ears! Cute teeth too (from not too close;))
    Great equipment btw! What lens did you shoot this with?

The bat-eared fox is a species of fox found on the African savanna, named for its large ears, which are used for thermoregulation. Fossil records show this canid to first appear during the middle Pleistocene, about 800,000 years ago. It is considered a basal canid species, resembling ancestral forms of the family.
