African Cape Fox Skull Replica

Description

Large, sharp ears and a small, pointed muzzle define the look of this animal. Silvery-gray fur covers the body, while a tawny color marks the back of the ears. White hair grows around the side ear pinna. The neck and sides show a lighter color; white the bel remains pale tawny to buff.

A dull red color covers the head. The lower jaw displays a dark brown shade. Distinct white marks are on their throat. The legs appear tawnier than the rest of the body.

A dense, bushy tail can look silvery, pale fawn, or a dull yellow with black tips. Tail tips always stay black. A dark spot marks the area over the tail gland.

Zippy, the African cape fox skull replica, is playing doctor with his friends and fed Zazu acacia seeds to make him better. A few minutes later Zazu was feeling really sick.

Zazu, the fennec fox skull replica, went inside to tell his mom he was not feeling well. Zazu’s mom asked Zippy what he had fed Zazu. When she learned what he had done she quickly drove Zazu to the emergency room to have his stomach pumped.

Sandy, the pale sand fox skull replica, is never going to play doctor with Zippy again.

Kitty, the kit fox skull replica, told her mom what had happened. Kitty’s mom stated that there is something wrong with that Zippy kid and you are no longer allowed to go over there and play ever again.
