BABY FENNEC FOX BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT

4/29/2020

Wesley and Sahara, Fennec foxes that live at the North Georgia Zoo in Cleveland, GA, are happy to announce the birth of triplets! The new babies (called “kits” in the fox world) are looking for names right now. Please feel free to send us your suggestions!

Sahara, their mother, is absolutely delighted with her new offspring. “They are just beautiful – they have their father’s ears!”

Fennec foxes are the smallest of the fox breeds, typically weighing only 4-2 lbs. as adults. At birth they weigh approximately 50 grams each! However, they have the largest ear to body ratio of any animal. They use their ears for two things: (1) Hearing, of course! The size of their ears gives them extraordinary hearing, which aids in their search for food. And (2) Their ears have a great many blood vessels that are close to the surface of their skin. As blood circulates through these vessels, it is cooled by the wind that blows on the surface of their ears. This cooled blood is then recirculated back into their bodies, which brings down their temperature. This is important since they are native to the Sahara Desert!
Fennec foxes are arguably the cutest creatures in the animal world, but they are only one of almost 100 different species of animals that call North Georgia Zoo home. The zoo is located at 2912 Paradise Valley Road, Cleveland, GA, 30528. Visit www.northgeorgiazoo.com for more info and to make reservations.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has issued new guidance concerning the COVID-19 virus. In his press conference on April 20, he directed small businesses to begin reopening, while following strict safety guidelines.

North Georgia Zoo is now open but is limiting its offerings so that it may abide by these guidelines. In order to do this:

1. All activities will be BY PRIOR RESERVATION ONLY. In this way we can keep our crowds to a safe size. Reservations will be accepted only on our website at www.northgeorgiazoo.com.
2.  Reservations can be made for any day of the week, 11:00-3:00 each day.
3. Social distancing will be strictly adhered to on all Wildlife Walk tours and Animal Experiences.
4. All Virtual Online experiences will continue to be offered. These may be booked online at www.northgeorgiazoo.com.
5.   Zoo employees are continuing to implement enhanced cleaning and sanitizing practices at the facility. Hand sanitizer is readily available to guests at several areas around the zoo.
