12/5/14 Bat Eared Fox Photo Thread!!

Mine arrived and i’m very pleased!

I wasn’t really that interested in getting one of the servals but now that i see how neat it looks with my African Wild Dog i’m in love 🙂

Melody airbrushed the markings so neatly on such a little pebble fox! I’m really impressed and super happy. Definitely keeping these two 😀

edit. On second thought. Its not really a serval is it? I don’t think Servals have rosettes 😮 Perhaps it’s a serval jaguar hybrid or an ocelot???

Maybe it’s a Leopardus tigrinus (Southern Oncilla) or a Ganetta tigrina (large-spotted ganet)? Though they don’t seem to have rosettes either. Sorry for the scientific names. The common names get mixed results in Google image search. ^_^; Anyways, here’s some pics at the least!

Southern Oncilla (type of South American small wild cat)

Large-spotted ganet

I think that one was a bengal cat, but I don’t remember… They don’t really have spots in their rosettes though, do they?

Actually, it looks like an Ocelot to me…. Also known as as the dwarf leopard – they have the Rosette spots on their backs and the striping:

I’m with Ela_Hara on the Ocelot vote! With the spotted rosettes and the white patches on the back of the ears, Ocelot looks good to me. 😀

Bengals come in SO many patterns! Rosettes, spots, marbling, stripes… And colors too! Charcoal, white/silver, fawn/brown, cream…. But I’m not sure I’ve ever seen rosettes with spots in them…. I’ve seen rosettes with a darker color inside them, but no spots. But who knows, maybe breeders are already working on that. You never know!

Here are my two AWDs and a GB bat eared fox that I traded for. (Thanks Skylover!) They look awesome together! I’m glad I got the second AWD because he has much more white on his tail. I could see having an entire pack of these guys if I could. I am so happy that Melody decided to make this paint scheme a limited edition release. Each one is so unique and I could look at the different ones all day.

Very cute! What a great match! Here are the two wild dog foxes we got in today and I am very happy with them! I especially love the lighter coloured one on the right but they are both very nice! With that said my mom was nice enough to help me get an extra wild dog and baby poad for Christmas but only because I was hoping to trade one for a grab bag bat eared fox since I missed them! If anyone has a grab bag bat eared fox they would trade for one of my pieces or would sell to me, please let me know! I would trade the fox on the left or possibly the one on the right or one of my red foxes or a baby poad for a grab bag bat eared fox. I especially love the light coloured ones, flame point Siamese ones, spotted wild cat or striped lemur or red panda foxes!

Adorable!
