A man rescued what he thought was a kitten, but a TikTok video revealed it’s actually a tiny fennec fox from North Africa.
A man picked up the animal on a road in America. The video title said it was a fox.
The animal looked like a kitten, with small ears and fluffy fur. It was actually a baby fennec fox, which shocked people in the comments.
The kind man brought it inside and gently washed its fur. He wrapped it in a blanket and weighed it; it only weighed 40 grams.
The fox slept in its bed and was fed with a syringe. It had a playful bath, played with a toy bone, and looked clean and healthy. It enjoyed tickles on its owner’s lap.
The fox approached a cat, but the cat was much bigger and ran away. The fox grew bigger, played with toys, and snuggled with its owner.
The TikTok video got 38 million views, 2.9 million likes, and over 18,000 comments. People were really surprised.
One person thought it looked like a kitten at first. Another asked why it was on the road. Someone else was amazed by it.
National Geographic says it’s the smallest fox. Fennec foxes have big ears and live in North African deserts.
