Two Bat-Eared Foxes make a quiet nighttime visit to the waterhole in Namibia.
The Bat-Eared Fox is one of Africa's most unique canids and is easily recognized by its enormous ears, which can grow up to 13 cm long. While most foxes hunt small mammals, birds, or reptiles, Bat-Eared Foxes have a very different diet. Up to 80% of their food consists of insects, particularly harvester termites and beetles.
Their oversized ears are not just for show. They help the fox detect tiny sounds made by insects moving underground, allowing it to locate prey with remarkable precision, even in complete darkness.
Bat-Eared Foxes are usually active at night and often travel in pairs or family groups. Unlike many other predators, they play an important ecological role by helping control insect populations across the African savannah.
Watch closely and enjoy this peaceful moment as these fascinating nocturnal visitors stop by the waterhole before continuing their journey through the Namibian night.
