    Aww I want to suck on her thumb too!

  2. Holly says:

    Oh my, too cute! Just too cute. Overload, you might say.

  3. isaiah says:

    Sweet little girl!

  4. snorglepup says:

    Always wondered what fennec fox taste like.
    I’m sure it goes well with squirrel tea.

  5. Nikki says:

    This is beyond cute. This is like cute to the 10th power…

  6. Von Zeppelin says:

    Are you sure that’s thumb sucking? From the facial expression, it looks more like thumbing the nose, followed by a Bronx cheer: “Yer muddah wears ahmy boots! Ppppphhhhhbbbbttttt!”

  7. Rosie Posie says:

    Awn…. how sweet! Though I did not know there was a Disapproving Division for foxes too! (Look at her! She is clearly disapproving as she sucking indignantly on her thumb!)

  8. nismo says:

    That’s a kissable forehead

  9. illyilly says:

    Awwwww. She looks like a furry Yoda. Soooo cute

  10. cassandra says:

    Yoda fox!!! how darling.

  11. koko says:

    these have got to be the most adorable creatures ever-I’m serious, even cuter than some kittens-and I’m a lifelong cat person. I just wish I could have one as a pet!

  12. Brenda says:

    Love the Yoda ears! What a cutie!

  13. jenjen says:

    I think she’s putting up the claws as protection against unwanted nose-BOOPing.
    Which I would be eager to do, I must say. BOOP!

  14. debg says:

    Okay, now I absolutely, positively MUST get one of these.

  15. kibblenibble says:

    Love the pearly white fur and peenk translucent earses….prosh. *sigh*

  16. puddlepeppers says:

    snorglepup…For lots of finesse, serve your fennec fox on a platter of
    fresh fruit with your squirrel tea.

    ABBAHAM
    Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?

    McFENNECSON
    I do bite my thumb, sir.

    ABBAHAM
    Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?

    McFENNECSON
    [Aside to MEGORY] Is the law of our side, if I say
    ay?

    MEGORY
    No.

    McFENNECSON
    No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I
    bite my thumb, sir.

  19. chanpon says:

    Mmmm…you take the thumb, I’ll take the ears. *pinchy fingers*

  20. Rosie Posie says:

    Patito – Do you quarrel, sir?

  21. Quarrel, sir! No sir, Rosie Posie, sir.

  22. Alyson says:

    Can I have one just like her?

  23. thelibrarianne says:

    This literally made me say “Awww!” out loud. I mean, this site is adorable 24/7. But this was the first time I had a Spontaneous Outburst of Cute expression. Well played, little fennic. Well played.

    @Patito: lols.

  24. sn5 says:

    seriously insanely cute… thats all

  25. puddlepeppers says:

    @ chanpon…You take the ears..I’ll take the silver fur…*grabby hands*

  26. SLianne says:

    Yoda fox says, “suck my thumb I will”

  27. Sporkles says:

    i wonder if her claw hurts her tongue at all. The problem could be solved if she sucked on my thumb.

  28. LisaL says:

    *gasps* It’s like a kitten and Yoda made a baby!!!! WAAAAAAAANT

  29. BMack says:

    I have always thought that that species of fox was adorable at their adult stage, but this is just too awsomely cute to be believed.
    I usually just say “awww” quietly, but that made me say it quite loudly, so much my wife looked over, and did her own massive awwwing.

  30. Extremely cute. I wonder are the babies always this light color or is it just this particular little gal?

  31. SoCuteUrl says:

    It’s a Mogwai!

  32. kirri says:

  34. Subhangi says:

    Awwwwww! *keeses the tiny hayd*

  35. unci says:

    at that stage you never know whether they will grow up to be a fennek or a yoda ….

  36. Earwig says:

    Little bleenky eye capsules, you own me…

  37. pyrit says:

    Hmmm, I seem to taste of vanilla!

  38. Poohbear says:

    I think I see a binky there, she seems to be holding onto and sucking a binky…. Sweet and vanilla-flavored either way.

  39. Amy says:

    The sweetness of this little creature has neutalized my Monday morning bitterness.

  40. Brian says:

    We must’ve needed some major cute cause someone pulled out the big guns!

  41. Smalls says:

    Aww. If the little fennec fox quarrels, I am for her! I serve as good a lolcat as her!

  42. Lerrinus says:

    SoCuteUrl, you beat me to it, I was just thinking “Gremlin!”

  43. Kar says:

  46. Theresa says:

  47. Essie says:

    Oh, those ears! They just look so overwhelmingly CHOMPABLE!! I want to chomp them! Bets on how long it takes her litter mates to do so?

  48. Michelle says:
