Thank you for your comments and faves
____________

INFO ABOUT THE ANIMAL:

Name: Fennec fox (Vulpes zerda or fennecus zerda)
Location: Sahara Desert - North Africa and Sinai
Size: 40 cm long body + 25 cm long tail weight: 1,5 kg
Diet: rodents, insects, birds, eggs, desert vegetation (fruit, roots, berries)
Conservation status: Least Concern
Interesting facts: female fox gives birth to 2-5 kits and both parents then take care of the babies: mother does not allow the male to come closer to cubs, but the male still brings her some food | fennec foxes use their huge ears for good hearing and also for thermoregulation! | fennec foxes have fur on their paws, so they can run on hot sand | fennec foxes have black tips on their tails | fennec foxes are mostly active during night | fennec fox is said to be the only species of fox, which can be kept as real domestical pet | fennec foxes are surprisingly swift, as they can run fast and jump very hight | fennec foxes are the smallest species of all foxes | chihuahuas (dogs) are NOT related to fennec foxes, athough some people think so!
ZOO: in the Czech republic, fennec fox is kept in ZOO Prague, ZOO Olomouc and ZOO Dvur Kralove nad Labem.

Vision: 100%. First my mind was: 'OMFG DAT METAAAAAL!!!' Very monster, >that< face + dark BG = HORROR ACTION... but... hey, it's justa fennec fox, =^.^= little, cute & 'used to be domesticated', as described. Still, first time it's hard to get, whoever it's, even if you know that fennec foxes has a BIG ears (+5 to terrifyin' =^w^= ). Face also like cat from that view.
Originality: The horror theme's not new, but SUCH photos >are< rare. Most of so-called 'horror' photos' like >vore<, but not >horror<. Not that one. And that contrast: spooky/kawaii - you did it well.
Tech: Almost perfect. Dark BG, light spot on a fox's face. That focuses a watcher on a main (& adds + 10 to horribility =^w^= =^w^= =^w^= ). The mouth's dark, it reduces an effect a little, but it's good-detailied, so it helps ~~to feel a fury of a furry~~ to keep an effect. Yet, there's a light sand, which also decreases a level of total terror (sry for the metalhead slang =>.<= ), but the face's big in compare to photo size - first what you notice IS RRRAAWWWRRRRRR FROM THE DARKNESS... & only after that you see that the darkness isn't so dark (& the fox's not so monster... not a monster at all =^.^= )
Impact: See 'vision' =^_^=

Another of your fantastic photos. I can't tell if it's cute or... creepy. When I read the title and then look at the photo, I always seem to think "The most terrifying fox ever????" instead. It's cute though. It's a mix of cute (for squeamish people) and scary (for horror lovers. It's that scary!) I envy you. Who gets to take pictures of amazing animals all the time?! You do. I just love your photography! You always seem to find the right animals at the right time! Go fennecs! Go animals! Go... Woxys! This is great, Woxys. good-no great job as usual!
