Fennec foxes are well known for their contributions to the Rules of Cuteness, most notably their whopping ear-size.
This little Dewd is all, “I’m kitten-like, and don’t have my big ears yet!” and follows up with “Ye shall perish from my cuteness REGAHDLESS!”
Lori W., fennec-licious find. I like how his eye-capsules can BARELY hold on to this concious world and are… drifting…. so… tie-tie
My cuteness you will perish from.. *Creepy laugh*
Bleennec fox! SQUEEEEEEEEE!
This clearly demonstrates why baby foxes are called “kits”! They guy holding him looks more than a little foxy, too. Mmmm-hmmmmm!
He’s all Yoda-like, but still cuter than pie!
He’s really workin’ the capsules in the second pic.

*loud gasp of surprise and admiration*
Wincey, you beat me to it!!
Category: Pocket Pets… for *NOW*
AHHHahaahahahhahahaaaa!! Ha.
The whiskers. They’re killin’ me. KILLIN’ ME, I tells ya! I am being cold-bloodedly murdered by a set of bebbeh fox whiskers. R.I.P. Me.
Oh, I think I can fit his whole head in my mouf!!! One big SUPER NOMMING!!
Leilani, more like the guy holding him looks like he needs a SHAVE!! But the behbeh fennec is tres adorable!
Want, want, want!! Even when he looks a little annoyed like in the 2nd pic.
When tiny and bebeh-like you were, look as cute you did not! Mmmmhmhh!
He looks like the perfect melding of kitteh + puppeh!
The force is strong with this one!
I agree, Leilani, the guy is about as cute as the bebbeh foxling!
noo waays! how cute is that thing!
exactly the perfect size to fit right here in this little niche under my chin next to my collar bone. gimme now! I need a furry squeet critter to snuggle in that cold empty spot!
Ummhmmmmmm, my ohana sistah, they’s two foxes in this photo!
Teho, please please please, could we have some morphing action??? I so desperately want to have my theory confirmed that his face and nosicle are going to essentially stay the same size while his ears balloon to fennec proportions.
Whatta coot behbeh. Methinks he needs me as a smoochin’ agent.
Fenntastic.
the ears… they beckon… can you hear them?
“o nice lady, will you not help us grow with your soft kronchings?”
yes, my sweets… never fear, i will nom you.
ROFL to Kristin – that was too perfect!!
OH MAH GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lord…may i please have fennec?
Teh cute! Teh tiny widdle paws! The almost big ears!
GAHHHHHHH!!!!
*head explodes*
What a cutie pie!
Kristin, that was awesome!!
Hon Glad beat me to ‘Fenntastic’ so I’ll go with Fenntabulous.
Hello! I am Yoda Fox, so cute I am. Wise I am, and people I like. Be fooled not by my smallness, all answers do I have, and snorgle you I will.
that little dude looks exactly like i do in the mornings. he’s like, glaring at the guy, thinking “why did you wake me up?” *glares squintily*
that’s alright, lil guy, i understand. *scritches soft lil head*
I agree with both of you,Lielani and Kari
he’s foxy, BUT needs a shave! smooth skin is needed for smooth uninterupted snorgling of teh tiniez earzzz!!!
AWH it looks like an albino Gizmo
I don’t know why, but my first thought was to very quietly put my ear to the fox’s furry back and listen to his heart.
And the guy is a bit Fenncky himself…
I’m totally with ya, Leilani. Dood is yum-tastic!
YodaFennic-face could use some nibblin’ too!!
So that’s what Yoda looked like as a baby. Who knew??
I cannot begin to tell you how much I would smooch that whiskerly tickerly lil mouf! Germs be damned, I’m going in!!! *SMOOOOOOOCHA*
I want to stick all of his cuteness in my mouf. Why is that?
Cute boy, too. Double goodness.
I could kiss both the dude and the bebeh Foxy…mmm not at the same time though…
Can’t.
Take.
The Cuteness.
*faints
No, really, IS there any cuter animal than fennec foxes? I think there is not.
Agree that it looks sort of like a kitten, though. A sleepy, out-of-sorts kitten. Exactly the same facial expression as my cats get when I wake them out of a dead slumber by smooching them on the belly. I would be guilty of waking up this baby to cuddle it, too.
Maybe there could be a category for when human eye-candy is included? It’s happened several times before. Case in point:
http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2007/01/sleeping_mcquac.html
It seems like I remember almost as many comments about the guy as there were about the duckling.
There is nothing better than a picture of a super hot looking guy holding a tiny, helpless cute little baby animal.
UNLESS that super hot guy and his sidekick are hanging out live in my living room.
[Some might not *entirely* agree... - Ed.]
Fox? What fox? All I see is a beautiful boy
Gorgeous!
There’s a bit of ‘tude in the second photo.
You can all enjoy the boy as much as you want, just don’t go screamin’ at me the next time I make a “mmmm, tasty” comment about a cats-n-racks.
[High five! - Ed.]
I second Glix’s comment. There was also a cute guy with a puppy sleeping on his legs, and a cute guy and a bicycle and some sort of cute animal (such was the cuteness of the guy, I can’t even remember what the cute animal was). It can be the answer to Cats n’ Racks. Nothing is hotter than a guy with an appreciation for a cute animal.
I <3 the bebeh fox, and the boy looks pretty good to me too. Oh, and I'm all about tasty comments for cats n racks!
*begins to type*
*kitty enters house*
I don’t have a kitty.
Goodness, he’s cheeky.
*goes to retrieve kitty from kitchen*
Better not get him wet or feed him after midnight! His cuteness will become lethal!
The bottom pic looks like a little Yoda.
Leilani, yew arr absotively pawsolutely rait. Funnii yew shud notiss taht.
It’s funny how the fox is just staring at the guy in the first picture. “Look at him…watching me.”
And what’s all this talk about the guy needing a shave? Five o’clock shadows are manly.
Airplane ears.
Sleepy eyes.
Dainty paws.
Whiskers.
Beepable nose.
From the side, he almost looks like a bebeh polar bear!
And then from the front, he looks like a weapon of massive cuteness. TAKE COVER, EVERYONE!
OH!
MY!
GOODNESS!
WANT!WANT!WANT!WANT!WANT!WANT!
WANT!WANT!WANT!WANT!WANT!WANT!
WANT!WANT!WANT!WANT!WANT!WANT!
Where does one get a Fennec Fox??
OMG… I just ‘sploded from the cute!!
First picture was cute with two foxes … Second one killed me! That look, those ears, the little claws, i’m dead!
*SQUEE*
Ahem. Yeah, he does look like a kitten.
awww he’s all “Whatchoolookinat?”
Oh, now this is totally unfair…indescribably beautiful babe…and a sweet little fennec fox..
Would love to hold them both! ;-D
That Flickr site has lots of really cute animals pics. Here is the URL to a baby marmoset from the same site. http://www.flickr.com/photos/floridapfe/2478107696/in/set-72157604673199038/
*cries* Sooo soooo cute!!! I’ve loved fennec foxes forever. Now we’re beginning make the rest of the world love them too.
Want teh bebbeh.
aww.. so cute!
the definition of prosh, right?
It’s official: i dies from cute overload.
thats usually the face I make after several jack and cokes-but its cuter on the fox =D
is this from a zoo or private? or some shelter for endangered species? I would so love to know the location, if you could tell me, thank you
just read it , Korea
the boy/man has beautiful long eyelashes
Its cute but it looks like a cat and a chihuahua mix!
mmm hmm. i’ll take both in a doggie bag to go.
Very nice. I enjoy CO all the time.
Oh, god… the ears! [squee!]
This calls for a new category: Disapproving Fennec Foxes.

*splodes*
OHMYGOD!!!
Speaking of ears and whiskers and unbearable cuteness…….

THE
CUTEST

Looks like Yoda!!!!! With a bleach job!!!!!
He looks like a tiny baby polar bear in the first one.
Ok I know animal pix with children in them aren’t popular here but if you look at the same photostream
http://www.flickr.com/photos/floridapfe/439651612/in/set-72157601315626282/
Why couldn’t this have been my childhood?
Ye gods.
Two foxes.
And I just learned that, yes, behbeh fennekz do get their Monstrous Ears Of Pwn while they are still tiny. Take that, world!
FENNEC OWNS MY SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOOOOOOOOOOOO ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG–don’t look at the pic Wendy linked—it will kill you with teh QTE!
WANT
BABY YODA!!!!!!!!!!
Baby Yoda indeed. Gosh. Ze ultimate cute.
Not Yoda! NOT YODA!! Yoda is made of broken language and CGI!
Fennec is made of love and sky.
AAAWWWW, THEO…what a special thought…
If that is a pet-then I feel this is just wrong.
Something like this should be admonished not gushed over because of surface cuteness.
Wildanimals belong in the wild; not as someone’s pet. That is why we hear stories of people being attacked and animals being euthanized; somebody thought it’d be CUTE to have a tiger, wolf or bear as a pet. Next thing you know little susie gets mauled becuase the animal’s INHERIT instinct kicks in.
People please leave the wildlife (and their rescue) to the professionals.
Um, it’s “inherent”.
Some foxes, like this Fennec, can be pets. Similarly, some “domestic” cats can be feral and survive in the wild. (This doesn’t mean I’m planning to kick Mr. Bounce out of the house.)
Okay….INHERENT instincts kick in.
Better?! Sheesh.
Just because something CAN be a pet doesn’t mean it SHOULD be a pet.
Um, Renee, it’s not a pet.
If you follow any of the links to the original Flickr page, you’ll see these foxes are at a zoo in China somewhere. I think the guy who took them works at the zoo.
I’m sorry, make that Korea.
Renee — conversely, some animals that can’t be pets, *should*. Like tigers, since you mention. I *should* have a pet tiger. (Preferably one that I could ride; we would have a telepathic bond, epic adventures, overcome ridiculous adversity, and ultimately reach a horribly overused yet satisfyingly heroic ending. We would be living legends to our grandkids and grandcubs.)
But I can’t, because I don’t want to be Roy Horn.
lurkingsmirk, there’s a whole series of photos of the baby orangutan and the little girl.
They are fantastic!
Wendy- if you notice, I said IF it was a pet. I didn’t make the assumption that it was. I then said how I felt if it WAS a pet.
Theo-
This is my point.
There are THOUSANDS of domesticated animals that are being euthanized due to lack of acceptable homes, being unwanted etc…
I live in a state that has passed a law which fines owners if they don’t spay or neuter their treasured friends BECAUSE of overcrowding and lack of want etc..
I would hope that someone who wants a pet, think about ones that are already desperate for a home rather than get a exotic one that shouldn’t have been bred for that purpose.
That’s all.
Renee — you know how a cat will sometimes bat a fieldmouse around for half an hour before they get bored, turn it inside out & drop it on your pillow?…
I appreciate what you’re trying very hard to say. So do probably 99% of the folks on Cute Overload. It’s just, seriously, we *know* this stuff. Your point, and the reason this website exists, are not at all the same. We just happen to share (or be) some of the same sympathetic folks.
Pick your battles. You’ll be happier.
Hehe Renee, your whole “IF this is a pet–blah blah blah” reminds me of when people say “I don’t mean to be rude, but blah blah” and they do mean to be rude.
I haven’t heard any stories of little susies being mauled either by pet tigers. I have heard of people being mauled in the wild, by wild animals.
Well, Theo, it looks as if lurkingsmirk is in that 1% catagory you mentioned earlier.
Good thing you and I had this exchange. Sounds like someone needed some education on the subject.
nlnn
But I can’t, because I don’t want to be Roy Horn
posted by Theo.
Was that tiger in the wild, lurkingsmirk? Maybe the WILDS of Vegas.
Can we all just PLEASE focus on the reason we even look here: We love cute animals.
Let’s quit bickering and continue on with our love-fest of animals.
I think if Yoda had a baby; that’s what it’d look like.
*HUGS KIT*
Ooo, what a Q-T!
(Siegfried and Roy, LurkingSmirk. And way to follow my lead.)
Very cuteeeeeeee, just looks like my friends little daughter!!!!
Love the sleepy look in the 2nd pic.
)
Bebeh fennec says, “More sleep/naps, plz.”
(Same to us hoomans.
I want one so badly!!!
Awwwwww, who wants a kees on the hayd? Yes, YOU do, behbeh McFennecsons!
::snorgle::
I want to submit to open heart surgery and have that little guy tucked in.
I cannot get enough of fennecy cuteness.
How can people kill these animals for their fur?! Adorable little guy (or girl.)
This has got to be the cutest baby animal I’ve ever seen. I can’t stop looking at him!! I want to hug and kiss his tiny little head, forever. That will be what Heaven is like!
You know what they say Renee.. Those who cant do ( or in this case.. those who know nothing..) Teach!!!!
