We didn't catch it, we were just passing by the oasis where some locals had it. Unfortunatelly they often catch fennecs to show and sell them to turists.

I'm afraid only if you use gloves. His teeth are pretty sharp :)

It seems scared, you have to feel guilty

Isn't this illegal? capturing wildlife to be sold in the pet trade?

You should have turned them in

@WildlifeDen To who? There is no one to turn them in to. There is no one to enforce laws out there and if there were any, I don't think any laws pertain to them. They live in a culture outside our own laws.

But I may be mistaken.

I have to ask, WHY did you guys catch it? was there some special goal? Hopefully you didn't catch it to be forced into captivity as a pet.
