Blanford's fox is a small fox with very large ears and a long fluffy tail. It lives in dry mountainous and steppe regions of Central Asia.
Blanford's fox differs from other foxes with very large ears and a small body size. It is important for nature because it eats harmful insects and small rodents.
Forages for food at night on the ground, catches prey and collects fruits.
