Is desert fox another name for the fennec?

While the fennec fox is often called the "desert fox," it's not the only animal that goes by that name.

Here's why:

* "Desert fox" is a general term: It can refer to any fox species that lives in a desert environment.

* The fennec fox is one example: It is the smallest fox species and is well-adapted to desert life.

* Other desert foxes exist: Examples include the Rüppell's fox, the kit fox, and the sand fox.

So, while the fennec fox is definitely a desert fox, it's not the only one.
