Game animals of Africa: Fennec fox (Vulpes zerda)

The fennec fox has sand-colored fur that reflects sunlight during the day and helps keep it warm at night. Its nose is black and its tapering tail has a black tip. Its long ears have longitudinal reddish stripes on the back and are so densely haired inside that the external auditory meatus is not visible. The edges of the ears are whitish, but darker on the back. The ear to body ratio is the greatest of all the canid family and likely helps in dissipating heat and locating vertebrates. It has dark streaks running from the inner eye to either side of the slender muzzle. Its large eyes are dark.

HABITATS
The fennec fox is distributed throughout the Sahara, from Morocco and Mauritania to northern Sudan, through Egypt and its Sinai Peninsula. It inhabits small sand dunes and vast treeless sand areas with sparse vegetation, such as grasses, sedges, and small shrubs.

RIFLES AND AMMUNITION
Suggested calibre: .224
Bullet: Expanding bullet
Sights: Medium-range variable
Hunting conditions: Medium-range shots in mixed cover

Game Animals of Africa - Cape Fox (Vulpes chama)

Elegant, elusive, and uniquely South African, the Cape Fox is the only Vulpes species found south of the equator. With its sharp ears, silky silver-grey coat, and iconic black-tipped tail, this little predator is perfectly adapted to life in the arid and semi-arid landscapes of the Western and Northern Cape.

📏 MEASUREMENTS
• Total length: 45–62 cm
• Tail: 30–40 cm
• Shoulder height: 30–35 cm
• Weight: 2.5–4.5 kg

📝 DESCRIPTION
A petite muzzle, prominent ears, and a beautiful blend of silvery-grey and tawny tones make the Cape Fox instantly recognisable. Its bushy tail—always tipped in black—helps with balance and communication. Look closely and you’ll spot white markings on the throat and a darker patch over the caudal gland.

🌍 HABITAT
Found in the fynbos, semi-arid plains, and open scrublands, this species is perfectly suited to South Africa’s drier regions. It thrives in mixed open terrain where it can forage under the stars.

🎯 RIFLES & AMMUNITION (For Hunters)
• Calibre: .224
• Bullet: Expanding
• Sights: Medium-range variable
• Conditions: Medium-range shots in mixed cover

A fascinating little predator, beautifully adapted to its rugged environment — and a true gem of southern Africa’s wildlife.

Africa’s Greatest Hunting Magazine

Richard Lendrum (Publisher) Richard was born in Zambia in 1966, grew up in Zimbabwe, and has lived in South Africa for the last 22 years. Schooled in Bulawayo and then doing a Marketing BComm in South Africa, he was privileged to grow up close to nature, in a family that spent much time in the Matopo hills outside Bulawayo studying and collecting birds. With a passion for wildlife, Richard realized the role that tourism – and especially hunting tourism – plays in conserving wildlife, as well as in habitat conservation, and wanted to be part of that. Richard is an entrepreneur and conservationist at heart. Alongside the marketing and media business Richard founded 21 years ago, African Hunting Gazette contributes to his mission – promoting hunting in Africa. His vision for African Hunting Gazette is to help grow (double) the number of international hunters to Africa to 20,000. The space, game and inherent interest in Africa is there. He plans on developing a cohesive group of outfitters across the continent working in a cooperative, yet competitive environment, all with one objective - to promote hunting for the benefit of the continent of Africa.
