In the wild, bat-eared foxes are typically found in the grasslands and savannahs of southern and eastern Africa.

These foxes are facing threats from habitat loss caused by human activities such as farming, urban development, and hunting.

Their large ears act like satellite dishes, helping them detect prey accurately and stay cool by shedding heat through blood vessels.
