Fennec foxes (desert foxes) have ears up to 15 cm long. Thousands of years ago there was huge

variety in the size of the ears. Over time, those with the biggest ears were able to better survive as
they can lose more heat in the hot summer months. What would you expect to happen to the length
of Fennec fox ears if the temperature in the desert increases?

Answer:

You would expect their ears to also increase in size.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question says the ones with the biggest ears survived the best, implying if the temperatures rose the length of the ears would as well so that they could give off body heat.
