The Bat-Eared Fox has good hearing and huge ears measuring up to 13
cm in length. It is a small harmless animal which feeds on insects,
mice and wild fruit. They are partly nocturnal, and will take cover
on a hot day. The bonding of these animals is strong, and it is possible
for a pair to bond for a lifetime. The offspring (usually 3 to 5 young)
are born in a burrow. They are neither true foxes nor true jackals,
and have a habit of twisting and dodging when being pursued, in order
to confuse and shake off their pursuer.
