Photograph byMelissa GrooDescription
This photo of a bat-eared fox shows off its large teeth. These foxes have more teeth than any other canine. They have 46 to 50, with at least three upper and four lower molars where other members of the dog family have no more than two upper and three lower. Harvester termites and dung beetles can make up 80 percent of their diet. In the Serengeti, 85 percent of their activity is at night.
