Say hello to the Chattanooga Zoo’s tiny fox and its giant ears

Animal keeper Caiti Robinson weighs a male fennec fox kit Thursday, March 12, 2015, behind the scenes of the desert habitats exhibit at the Chattanooga Zoo in Chattanooga, Tenn. The male is one of two 6-week-old kits born to a single fennec fox mother at the zoo in January. Though they were weighing the kits every other day, now that they are older the zoo has transitioned to weighing them once a week.
