Animals in Lion Rock
Fennec Fox (Vulpes zerda)
A fully grown fennec fox only weighs around 1kg and they are the smallest of all the foxes.
The fennec fox's unusually large ears, which can be up to 15cm long, are an adaptation to help them lose heat in the hot desert and to help locate their prey.
African Lion (Panthera leo)
The lion has been characterised as fearsome, courageous and majestic, the lion’s strength and ferocity has earned it the title of ‘King of the Beasts’ in many cultures.
