A Correct answer
Explanation

Fennec foxes have exceptionally large ears (up to 15cm) that act as radiators to dissipate excess body heat. Blood vessels in the ears release heat to the environment, helping regulate body temperature in desert conditions. Their other features like thick fur (insulation) and wide paws (walking on sand) serve different purposes.
