The Influence of Food Habits on the Energetics of Eutherian Mammals

“…They feed on fruit, invertebrates, and vertebrates at small masses, and on fruit and vertebrates at larger masses. Thus, the small canid Fennecus has a low basal rate, which has been suggested to reflect a desert distribution (Noll-Banholzer 1979), but may well also reflect an invertebrateeating habit. The larger Cerdocyon thous also has a low basal rate , which is correlated with the extensive use of invertebrates and fruits in the wet season and crabs in the dry season (Brady 1979).…”

The Characterization of the Skull and Dental Measurements of the Fennec Fox "Vulpes Zerda" Collected From the Western Desert and Sinai Peninsula, Egypt

“…A number of researchers have examined the morphological and physiological adaptations of the fennec fox to living in the desert [7][8][9] . According to Noll-Banholzer [7] , the fennec fox can tolerate high urea levels in urine and can survive without drinking water depending on their nocturnal activity and the moisture content of their prey. In addition to occasionally taking birds and their eggs, the fennec fox primarily feeds on insects, arachnids, small rodents, and reptiles [1,7,10] .…”

According to Noll-Banholzer [7] , the fennec fox is well suited to life in a sandy desert because of its thick fur that keeps it warm on chilly desert nights and its well-furred feet that make it easier to move on sand.…”

In addition to aiding in thermoregulation, the very large ears may also help in the detection of insects and other small vertebrates [11] .…”
