    When this photo pulled up I actually said “Oh my God” right out loud. A PINK Fennec kit! No frickin way. Nature is trying to kill us with this little guy.

  6. Eve says:

    Those ears can catch UFO signs. Is this precious thing standing on someone’s palm? *dies too*

  7. MarFar says:

    OMG! This little baby couldn’t be a micron cuter under any circumstances. Death by ears, I say. Maybe a new category?

    I know the EARS are the show here, but lookit those little straytched-out paws! (squeeee!)
    Also: BEEP!

    • Fird Birfle says:

      that was my take-away. I thot that only kitties knew the extra-spaytial
      stee-stretchiness techiniques. But it would seem that a fennec (assumin’)
      knows The Stretchiness Strategies (TM) pretty well here.

        To type a ™, hold down the Alt key, type 0153, and release the Alt key.
        Always happy to help.

        I’ve always said foxes seemed more closely related to cats than to dogs.

        Have you peeps seen “The Fantastic Mr. Fox?” Funny Sweet. Weird. Mostly weird.

        My PC wallpaper at work, changed weekly, is usually some fluffy kitten or other. Right now it’s a screen still from “Atlas Shrugged” because I have a crushola on Grant Bowler. But I miiiiiiight be lookin’ at fennec foxes for next week.

  17. Kate says:

    I. Love. This.

  21. ashagato says:

    ok, they definitely own my soul. i’ve seen mr. whiskers before, but the one-two punch with the fuzzy sleepy baby is more than i can take…

  22. Martha in Washington says:

    You could scritch those ears all day long and still not hit every spot!

    • Martha in Washington says:

      Which I suppose would be a good excuse for doing it again tomorrow, wouldn’t it? :)

      • K. says:

        Pardon me – excuse? Doesn’t that imply that you have no actual reason to be scratching those ears? Madam, I must object to your choice of words! It is my god-given and eternal duty to scratch those wonderful ears until I’ve hit every spot just the right way!

  23. Hon Glad says:

    With those ears , they can probably fly, though no one has witnessed it.

  24. Miriam says:

    I’ve been killed by kit ear cuteness. Klunk.

      “Anybody seen a working defibrillator around the Emergency Cuteness Dept???”

  25. maureen desquitado says:

    I totally agree ‘whether your awake or asleep spread the cuteness’

  27. TUM says:

    Sure, his ears are working overtime, but how about his ‘nec?

  28. Shandrewsca says:

    My daughter was privileged to be able to do a report last year on the Fennec Fox. We got to see them in person at The Living Desert Park in Palm Desert, CA. They do a live show with some of the animals, with the Fennec Fox doing a bit. They are sooooo cute and smart! I read somewhere people actually keep them as pets – how on earth would you EVER get anything done around the house?!?

    • Fird Birfle says:

      “house??? housework???
      Why, what on EARTH are THOSE????”

    That first picture: I sense a Chee-wah-wah in the woodpile!

    Second photo: Stretchimus maximus!

  31. Ashley says:

    Awake fennec fox is not really a fox at all. She is from another world beyond the stars and has come to earth because her planet needs our help!

    that top pic is the cover photo of a book called “zooborns” which is filled with the most adorable baby animal photos that could be printed without risk of the paper spontaneously combusting from teh Qte. i highly recommend it, especially the segment covering the baby pygmy hippo. BABY PYGMY HIPPO!! *asplodies*
