Corsac fox

A sly, sandy-furred survivor of Central Asian grasslands, threatened by human activity but fiercely protected by conservationists

A small and cute animal that can be found in the grasslands and deserts of Central Asia. They have a fluffy coat of fur that can range from gray to yellowish-brown in color, and their big ears help them hear prey from far away. Corsac foxes are known for being quick and agile runners, and they can even jump up to three feet high!

Unfortunately, Corsac foxes are facing threats to their survival. Their habitats are being destroyed by human activities such as mining and agriculture, and they are also hunted for their fur. Conservationists are working to protect them by creating safe areas for them to live and educating people about their importance in the ecosystem.
