9 Animals That Absolutely Love The Heat

7. Rüppell’s Fox

The Rüppell’s fox lives in the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East, placing it in some of the harshest areas on the planet. However, its body is ideally suited to surviving high temperatures. Its furred feet allow this fox to walk on scorching sand. Its body is able to preserve water as its urine is concentrated and yields low levels of water. It has a super-low metabolism and small body, both of which help the fox to use less energy. The Rüppell’s fox also does most of its hunting at night when it’s cooler.
