Fennec foxes are the smallest canid in the world, they are cute and energetic AND can be owned as exoitc pets in other parts of the world, but not Australia. WHY I ask, why? Fennec foxes are absolutely nothing like the feral red foxes that are apparently a big problem here in Aus. We should be able to have the beautiful animals as pets in Aus if we want to!
