The tail is tipped with black. Their whiskers, nose and eyes are black. Their faces are absolutely stunning to look at with the ultimate innocent look. They have fur on the soles of their feet to protect the pads from hot sand and to help them travel in soft sand. Fennecs are rapid diggers and are well noted for this feat.
Natives tell a tale that they can disappear in the sand while standing still.
In Captivity Fennecs can make amazing animals for zoo displays and animal educators. They are very fox-like in their movements being quick and agile. They are easily trainable and fastidiously clean about their bodies. They can be trained to a litter box, similarly to a cat. We recommend a litter box that has a protective shield, however, as they can scatter the litter great distances.
