1. DESCRIPTION

The home range of this fox extends across the Sahara desert and
North Africa.  They enter the sand dunes during the day to escape
the intense heat.  These cooling holes can be up to 3 feet deep. 
Although considered solitary, fennec foxes live in small
communities of about 10 individuals, frequently in close proximity
or in some cases attached to each other.Fennec foxes are mostly
nocturnal animals. 

They spend most of the day in an underground burrow, avoiding

the desert heat.  They start searching for food from their burrows
at dusk.These foxes are omnivorous, nocturnal predators that eat
a variety of prey.  They enjoy insects, rodents, snails, lizards,
plants, fruits, roots and eggs.  Their large ears provide excellent
hearing to detect prey. 

Being desert dwellers, they are adapted to live in very little water; 
Most of the water they need comes from the plants they eat.

2. LIKING PART OF THE VIDEO

On the other hand, what I like about this video is Fenech Fox's
great ability to adapt to the hostile environment.  These foxes are
well adapted to temperatures over one hundred degrees
centigrade.  Although their existence is now under threat, their life
cycle is very strange and at the same time wonderful, which
makes everyone more interested to know about them.
They live in deserts and their coats are cream or beige in color,
which allows them to blend in to their surroundings. Fennec foxes
are also nocturnal,
Fennec foxes also use their extremely large ears to listen for
danger. They live in extensive underground dens that have more
than one entrance so that they are able to quickly disappear
underground to elude a predator.

4.DISLIKING PART OF THE VEDIO

What I find disturbing in this given video is the daily temperature

of the Sahara desert. According to the International Union for
Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species,
the existence of the fennec fox is now threatened.  The reason I
would say is that it is very difficult for any animal to survive at 100
degrees Celsius. 

On the other hand, the temperature in the Sahara desert

sometimes exceeds one hundred degrees Celsius.  Because of
which fennec has many adverse effects on the life cycle of foxes
