Bat-eared foxes have an unusual dietary emphasis
Bat-eared foxes specialize in insect feeding, with harvester termites sometimes making up most of their diet. Hearing is a primary means of locating prey. They may walk slowly with the nose near the ground and ears tilted forward.
Large ears help search for small prey.
