Namibia's Bat-eared Foxes: Survivalists of the Desert

Original title: Namibias Löffelhunde – Lebenskünstler der Wüste

Their huge ears locate the underground crawling sounds of beetles, larvae, and other insects in the sands of the Kalahari desert. But their resemblance to the thieving jackal lead to their inadvertent targeting by farmers defending their livestock. With their numbers dwindling, the bat-eared foxes of southern Namibia have become the passion project of veterinarian Margit Du Toit.
