ANIMALS THAT START WITH F:
1. FENNEC FOX
Fennec foxes are very small light tan and cream-colored foxes that live in sandy deserts. They are the tiniest kind of fox in the world and weigh only 2 to 3 pounds, but their ears can be as big as 6 inches long! Yes, fennec foxes do have great hearing and can even hear prey underground. But those giant ears also give off body heat so they don’t get too hot. Despite their size, they have been known to jump in the air 2 feet! These foxes dwell in small groups of up to ten individuals. The little, cream-colored foxes sleep underground in dens during the day so they don’t have to be in the hot sun.

2. FLAMINGO
Flamingoes eat algae and tiny shellfish that are rich in carotenoids, which is why these birds are pink or orange. Flamingos have a funny way of eating. They place their bills upside down in the water and suck water into their mouths. Then, they pump the water out the sides of their mouths. Tiny plants and animals remain to make a tasty meal. You often see them standing on one foot to save energy! In the wild flamingos live 20 – 30 years but sometimes live over 50 years in captivity. Flamingos are social birds, they live in colonies of sometimes thousands. This helps in avoiding predators, maximizing food intake, and is better for nesting. They make little mud towers for their nests.

These frogs are considered one of Earth’s most toxic, or poisonous, species. With a range of bright colors—yellows, oranges, reds, greens, blues—poison dart frogs aren’t just big show-offs either. Those colorful designs tell potential predators, “I’m toxic. Don’t eat me.” Most frog species are nocturnal, but poison frogs are active during the day, when their jewel-colored bodies can best be seen and avoided. A group of poison frogs is called an “army.” Poison Dart Frogs often carry their tadpoles on their back – click to check out the video!
