Bat-eared foxes are cute and a popular sighting on a game drive.

They are fairly common throughout the dryer regions of Africa, where they are most often seen foraging at night or in the early morning in warmer months and during the day when the weather turns colder. Bat-eared foxes like to lie in the shade of acacia trees and favour short grasslands and arid savannah. They are often seen in areas that have been extensively grazed by domestic and wild ungulates, but they do venture into the tall grass and thick shrub areas if threatened. They dig dens in which to raise their young that also provide shelter from extreme temperatures and high winds. They are highly social so if you spot one, keep your eye out for more.

Conservation status: Least Concern (Population stable)
