They are all MINE

Fennec fox (vulpes zerda, fenek berbersky) from ZOO Dvur Kralove nad Labem, Czech republic


Story of the photo: This little fox has mice in its tiny mouth. And do you see those white spots behind the fennec? It is SNOW, people! When I took this shot, it was very cold, it even hurt to walk outside. I think it could be at last -7, maybe -10°C! And that desert fox could go outside! I could not believe it, because other ZOOs alway close fennec foxes indoor after summer ends. Interesting.
