The Fennec Fox

Destination: not yet visited.

Sand desert, and the smallest fox in the world. Its ears run to a third of its body length and work as radiators, dumping heat rather than collecting sound. It can go its entire life without drinking standing water.

A panda drinks constantly and has ears the size of a coin. Nothing here scales.

Nothing from this stop is in the shop yet. The panda is out at six other stops right now — see The Tour, or everything that's live.
