Feneca is the smallest canine in the world. it is only 20 to 25 cm high, up to the shoulder. Its body, between 24 and 41 cm long, is smaller than an average domestic cat.
Feneca’s ears are key to her body language. A twisted ear means alert; crushed against the head is fear. In this way they quietly "talk" in the group, coordinating without sound.
They drill their burrows into the stable wings of the dunes. These can be several meters deep, creating an oasis of stable temperature away from the heat of the day and the cold of the night in the desert.
During the day the fenecas spend their hours in the holes made by them. To protect you from the heat of the desert. It’s time to hunt for the night. In fact, behind the adorable end of the feneca there are tooth jets. The tusks, although not long, are very functional in their opportunistic omnivorous diet.
Fenec’s feet are a perfect insulator because they are covered with dense hair. this “furry cushion” allows you to walk on the hot sand without burning your legs.
