What do you get when you mix a bat with a fox? A bat-eared fox of course!
The bat-eared fox (Otocyon megalotis) gets its name from those huge ears that are 114-135mm long. These foxes like grassy areas, their populations can be found in two spots, one roams from Ethiopia to Tanzania, the other from Southern Angola to South Africa. These foxes dig super secret dens that have many different entrances and chambers with long tunnels connecting them together. They use these hideouts along with their excellent speed and dodging abilities to get away from predators. Bat-eared foxes eat mostly insects and small rodents, according to one study they get 80% of their diet just from termites and dung beetles!

The bat-eared fox looks kind of cute! I heard about the bat-eared fox for the first time on Wild Kratts – a show I really like to watch – but it’s cool to read about them on Earth Rangers, too!
