Pale Fox by Ghirin

Pale Fox

Author: Ghirin

The pale fox (Vulpes pallida) is native to the southern portion of the Sahara desert and the semi-arid regions south of that desert, including thorny savannah and steppes. They are primarily a nocturnal species and tend to be social animals, building large communal burrows with tunnels that may be up to 15 meters long.

Pale foxes will eat a wide variety of foods, including insects, reptiles, eggs, small mammals, and fruits.
