Fennec Fox

Hello! Welcome to my website. I chose to research fennec foxes because I found them to be extremely interesting. I first learned about them while watching Zootopia with my niece, and Finnick quickly became one of my favorite characters. I hope you enjoy reading about them... but first, a quick introduction to them
