Started a new project where I sketch headshots for a bunch of different species to help study animal physiology and facial shapes / features! Foxes are first, specifically vulpes!

Vulpes Pallida

Mostly due to its remote habitat and well-camouflaged coat, the pale fox is one of the least studied canines in the world.

Pale foxes are usually found in the southern part of the Sahara desert. They share this habitat with fennec foxes and Ruppell's foxes. Pale foxes’ range also extends further south to wetter habitats like the Guinean savannah (see image below). If I was a pale fox I would definitely prefer living there.

Pale foxes are gregarious animals, which means they are quite social. They generally share a burrow with a couple other foxes. This burrow is large, and it has multiple chambers lined with grasses and other vegetation. They spend the day in this burrow, coming out at night to hunt. They have no known predators, so they probably only do this to avoid the hot desert temperatures.

Like most foxes, pale foxes will eat almost anything. This includes eggs, reptiles, insects, carrion, and vegetation like wild melons. The pale fox’s ears aren’t as giant as the fennec or Ruppell’s foxe’s, but they still have excellent hearing that allows them to find prey under sand. They also have quite short legs. This makes it easier for them to navigate tunnels and stay hidden in grass.

I rate the pale fox 11/10 absolutely amazing

Haley and Grace are always the fox-fight sisters. They fight enemies and battle them in one square.

Haley is a pale fox who becomes Heart Power Girl. She does her powers that include her heart magic wand that shoots magic wishes. And at last, she became hyper and chatterbox, becoming "sisters" with Grace, and applies "truth" with her emotions. She is voiced by Lisa Jacobs.

Grace is a bat-eared fox who is becoming bat-powered and sleek. She does her powers that include her disco ball wand that shoots magic wishes. And at last, she became super sleek, hearing, seeing her musical light-up top on her palm of her hand, putting on her Super Bat suit instead of her catsuit and makes the "Last Howl". She is voiced by Cheryl Kim.
