Fennec Fox

I live among the rocks and sand

Far away in regions of arid land

My ears are quite enormous I am told

Six inches long and a sight to behold

They help me track my prey

An alert me if enemies are at bay

I might be small but I’m fast and quick

I can dig sand with speed when I kick

I travel at night hunting when food is plenty

To find a tasty morsel of insects, rodents,

I might find two or maybe even twenty

Jumping high in a mouse like leap

I catch my prey with my front feet

Water is sometimes hard to find

So plant roots is what I have in mind

Endangered and threatened by humankind

I stay my distance and with ears alert

I survive another day unhurt
