You may think this is just a fox until: *Sproing* go the big furry ears. This is the aptly-named BAT-EARED FOX (Otocyon megalotis), native to the African savannah. The Latin name means "dog-ear big-ears" & she's very sensitive about it, so NO GOSSIPING (she can hear you from a continent away).

Alt: A bat eared fox approaches the camera and suddenly unfurls enormous bat-ears that tower over the head. It's a grey fox with buff chest and darker grey stripe down the nose. The slinking tail is dark charcoal like the paws.
