Rosamond Gifford Zoo annouces the birth of two adorable Fennex Fox kits. A boy named Todd, and a girl named Vixey. The first from Rosamond in 21 years.

The fennec fox (Vulpes zerda) is a small nocturnal fox found in the Sahara of North Africa. Its most distinctive feature is its unusually large ears, which serve to dissipate heat. Moreover, its hearing is sensitive enough to hear prey moving underground. It mainly eats insects, small mammals, and birds. (wikipedia)
