Asian Ruppell´s Fox By Ghirin

The sand fox (Vulpes ruppelli), also known as Ruppell's fox, is native to arid and semi-arid regions in northern Africa, Arabia and central Asia, including stony desert, steppes, thornbush savannah, and dry woodland. They have a distinctive call, a "wow" sound ending in two yaps.

Sand foxes live in pairs or small family groups. They build dens, but also tend to move to a new location about once a week. Sand foxes hunt at night, preying on small mammals, insects, fruit and carrion.
