• A. Fennec fox
• B. Red fox
• C. Grey fox
• D. Kit fox

Answer 1

The correct option is A Fennec fox

• The fennec fox is a small fox that lives in sandy deserts. They are usually found in the Sahara and the northern part of Saudi Arabia.
• They have huge ears and very large eyes and are very agile. The large ears help the fox lose excess heat and also helps in detecting its prey from a long-distance away.
• They are nocturnal animals and have hairy feet that protect the fox from the hot desert sand.
