Bat-eared Fox
(Otocyon megalotis)
The bat-eared fox lives from southern Zambia to the extreme south of Africa and from Ethiopia to Tanzania. They inhabit open spaces.
In addition to the remarkable ears which are up to twelve centimeters in length they are notable for their tooth structure and diet – 80% of the diet consists of insects (termites, beetles) and occasionally fruit; they also catch small rodents and birds. Their teeth are relatively small; their jaw is adapted to rapidly chew insects.
They live in pairs but may form small family groups. Youngsters (usually from two to five) are born after sixty days of gestation. At the age of four months the cubs start to accompany the adults hunting. These foxes usually feed individually.
