Bat-ear Stops in to Visit

Category: Mammals, camera-trap | Date: Dec 11 2008 | By: tumaren

Caught this adult Bat-eared Fox in the camera a while back. You can really see the size of his insect probing ears.  What you cant see is a set of exceptional jaw muscles capable of extremely rapid bug chomping (i think i remember that they set some kind of chomping speed record in the mammal world but know i cant remember).
