My name is Aziza, and I'm a Fennec Fox. I'm on a mission to get back to my home in the Sahara Desert and I'm hoping you can help me. I would also love it if you coud take pictures of me along the way. The Sahara, which is Arabic for "The Great Desert" is the world's largest hot desert and one of the harshest enviroments on the planet.
I am a Fennec Fox figurine with a travel bug tag attached to me. i am NOT collectible. please DO NOT keep me. Help me move from cache to cache. Please take pictures of me.
Fennec Fox
The fennec fox is the smallest of all the world's foxes, but its large ears, measuring 6 inches (15 centimeters), appear to be on loan from a bigger relative.
Fennec foxes dwell in the sandy Sahara and elsewhere in North Africa. Their nocturnal habits help them deal with the searing heat of the desert environment, and some physical adaptations help as well.
Their distinctive, batlike ears radiate body heat and help keep the foxes cool. They also have long, thick hair that insulates them during cold nights and protects them from hot sun during the day. Even the fox's feet are hairy, which helps them perform like snowshoes and protects them from extremely hot sand. The fox's feet are also effective shovels for frequent digging—fennec foxes live in underground dens.
These foxes dwell in small communities, each inhabited by perhaps ten individuals. Like other canids, male fennecs mark their territory with urine and become aggressive competitors when mating season arrives each year.
Fennec foxes are opportunistic eaters. They forage for plants but also eat rodents, eggs, reptiles, and insects. Like most desert dwellers, the fennec fox has developed the ability to go for long periods without water.
These foxes are cream-colored with black-tipped tails. Their adorable appearance makes them favorites of the captive pet trade, and local peoples also hunt the fennec fox for its fur. Little is known about the status of wild fennec fox populations.

Picked up while caching on our vacation in July out to New England. I apologize for such a late log! Looks like this little guy has barely left New York. I'll bring him out to North Dakota with me tomorrow.

Saw it in the West box at my Ithaca's TB Hotel today. Wishing it a good safe journey from here. As it's mission is going to the Sahara, I'll try to move it to the East box next time I stop by.
