Correct answer is: True
Fennec foxes have many desert adaptations, including fur-covered feet, heat-radiating ears and pale fur that offers excellent camouflage in the sand. Panting helps regulate their temperature; at times of extreme heat, their breathing rate can climb from 23 to 690 breaths per minute! Living in underground burrows helps these nocturnal animals avoid the heat of the day. Their thick fur offers additional protection from the sun and keeps them warm during cold desert nights.
