The desert version of a red-tailed fox – in the back section of an urban park, Al Ain, UAE – the large ears help release heat.

    Fantastic. Long legs, large ears, and large surface area to body volume. Allen’s rule to a T. What a great find—Chris

  • Hey Chris – thanks – and you made me go look up Allen’s (and Bergmann’s) rule — does fit pretty well — I was happy to see the guy in such good health in the middle of the brutal summer heat — dave

    This is an extremely skittish animal, how did you capture it? Beautiful. Thanks for sharing with the Art of the Middle East group

  • Hi Eyal – thanks very much — I was hiking in one of my favorite bird watching places and the fox came running right towards me – by the time he saw me he was very close and I was able to get this photo before he darted away. — dave

    Fox. What a cuty. Arabian desert nature is amazy. I love desert. I lived 10 years in Mohave desert, what is close to Las Vegas.
