In the deserts(沙漠)of North Africa and Saudi Arabia lives the smallest fox with the largest ears. This animal is the fennec fox.
Fennec foxes have ears that are 5 to 6 inches long. That's big for an animal that weighs less than four pounds. Their ears help shed (去除) body heat. And, as you may have guessed, they also provide great hearing.
It's also interesting to think about the hair of fennec foxes. Why would a fox that lives in the desert need a thick, fur coat? Actually, the desert isn't always warm. During the nighttime, a desert can be terribly cold! A fennec fox's fur keeps them warm during those desert nights. They also have long bushy tails that they use as a blanket. And the hair on their feet protects them from the hot sand in the daytime.
Fennec foxes live in small communities of dens (兽穴).They spend most of the day sleeping in their dens, out of the hot sun. Then, when night comes, they come out in search of food. In addition to(除……之外) their great hearing, fennecs also use their great sense of smell and big eyes to track down dinner.
Fennecs eat both meat and plants. They like eating birds, eggs, insects, snails, fruit and leaves best. Fennec fox mothers have one to five babies at a time. Sometimes they are in danger. They have to be careful with predators (捕食性动物), such as caracals (a type of wild cat) , jackals, eagle owls, hyenas and humans. Humans catch them for their fur and to sell as pets.

Exploring(探索) the moon and Mars may no longer be surprising. NASA announced in January that it had partnered with another US agency to build nuclear thermal(核动力) rocket engines. A trip to Mars will take about seven months. Although scientists aren't sure about the exact time a trip with nuclear engines will take, the technology will make travel time less and cut down the risk astronauts will face. | |
New Drone(无 人 机 ) at Home in Air and Water Chinese researchers have developed a diving(潜 水 ) drone that can change between flying and swimming. It weighs 1.63 kilograms and is 38 centimeters wide, which can fly for six minutes in the air or operate underwater for 40 minutes. It can be used for exploration, search and other jobs. It will be designed in different sizes and will be able to work in deep sea environments after further technical breakthroughs. |
