A Bat Eared Fox. An active little animal with such specialised hearing that it is able to perfectly tune in to its environment. Its enormous ears act as a cooling system, a means of communication and enable it to detect it’s prey of tiny bugs burrowing deeply underground. I have positioned my fox at a time around dusk, when these little predators come out of their underground dens to relax before moving off to hunt in the dark.
