Fennec Skull

This skull of Vulpes zerda , a small canid emblematic of the North African deserts, illustrates remarkable morphological adaptations to life in an arid environment, notably its wide eye sockets and slender rostrum, combined with a complete and sharp set of carnivorous teeth. The lightness of the bones and the delicacy of the structures attest to its evolution towards an agile predator, specializing in hunting small vertebrates and invertebrates. This specimen was carefully prepared and mounted on a base in our workshops to reveal its full anatomical finesse.
