There Are Three New Baby Foxes In The World

thumbnail icon: There Are Three New Baby Foxes In The World

The Tokyo zoo has released the first video of three baby foxes born there in May. They're rare Fennac foxes with unusually large ears to help them stay cool. They're being raised by (lucky) zoo staff, because their (deadbeat) mother was "unable to care for them." Anyway, I want to go to there. Here's one of those adorable-yet-creepy strangely quiet zoo baby videos of the foxes.

That's a very nice comfy-looking bed for a ZOO. Lucky foxes.

How do big ears keep them cool? Can they fan themselves?

Ha! But no. They act as large radiators and dissipate body heat. Mother Nature's a mad scientist, .bryan.

You'd think the super-huge ears would actually cause them to be less cool, because, you know, increased probability of us cuddling with them.

*Sigh* Remember the days when you didn't have to explain a 30 Rock quote? Like this past winter?
Anyway, I don't think you were downvoted for that, I think it's because Linds (Linds 4Eva!) already said it. *Double sigh* Oh well, I voted you back up.
