The Fennec Fox
Would you trade your paws for a pair of sneakers?
In this episode of Wild and Kind Kids, we journey to the deserts of North Africa to meet Tazzy, a curious fennec fox who loves collecting mysterious treasures left behind by humans. When she discovers a pair of sneakers, she's convinced she's finally found the secret to becoming faster, stronger, and more adventurous. But as Tazzy soon learns, the desert has a funny way of reminding every animal that it was designed for its own amazing home.
Along the way, kids will learn about the world’s smallest canine, including:
How their giant ears help them find prey and keep them cool
The ways they find water
Why it pays to come out at night in the desert
