Description: Those ears have two primary uses: For thermoregulation (blood vessels to dissipate heat in their Central Kalahari Game Reserve habitats) and to hear their sub-surface prey (harvester termites and barking geckos etc.). The moisture from these prey items makes it unnecessary to find water in their arid environs.. Date: 12 September 2015, 07:53. Source: Bat-eared Fox (Otocyon megalotis megalotis).
