"This guy is a fox, seems like it's called the long-eared fox, right? But originally, it's from the Americas, how did it end up here?"
Suming spoke while holding and shaking its long ears. The long-eared fox seemed to have given up resisting, helplessly drooping its head and limbs, disheartenly shaking a few times with Suming's movements, its long tail dragging below it like a pendulum, swinging back and forth.
The long-eared fox, also known as the fennec fox, is the smallest canid in the world – in other words, the smallest fox – with particularly long ears as its characteristic feature. It's not an extremely rare species but, due to its cute appearance, it can be kept as a pet, mainly inhabiting Africa and the Americas. That's why Suming found it odd why so many long-eared foxes would pop up in this underground complex.
