What does FENNEC mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A small pale fox of the Sahara with very large ears, which it uses to lose heat and to hear prey under the sand.
The name is borrowed from an Arabic word and is applied to the smallest member of the dog family. Its huge ears can give off excess warmth, and thick fur on its feet protects it from hot sand. It hunts at night for insects, rodents and small birds, and shelters by day in a burrow. The fennec is a popular figure in children's books because of its comic ears.
