The length, color and density of the fur of fox species differ. Fennec foxes (and other desert-adapted fox species such as Vulpes macrotis) have large ears and a short coat to keep the body cool. [21] On the other hand, the Arctic fox has small ears and a thick, insulating coat to keep the body warm. [22]
Aside from the vibrissae, the walrus is sparsely covered with fur and appears bald. Its skin is highly wrinkled and thick, up to 10 cm (4 in) around the neck and shoulders of males. The blubber layer beneath is up to 15 cm (6 in) thick. Young walruses are deep brown and grow paler and more cinnamon-colored as they age.
Its nose is made up of more turbinate bones than any other mammal, with between nine and 11, compared to dogs with four to five. [11] With a large quantity of turbinate bones, the aardvark has more space for the moist epithelium, which is the location of the olfactory bulb. [11] The nose contains nine olfactory bulbs, more than any other mammal ...
It has a triangular head and a bright blue tongue, [4] inside a bright pink mouth. [6] Its short, stumpy tail is similar in shape to its head. This is probably a defence mechanism to confuse predators although it also stores fat and has led to the common name of "two-headed skink". [ 4 ]
The dorsal fur of Chlorocebus monkeys varies by species from pale yellow through grey-green brown to dark brown, while the lower portion and the hair ring around the face is a whitish yellow.

The occipital condyles at the bottom of the skull allow the animal to tip its head over 90 degrees and grab food on the branches directly above them with the tongue. [ 50 ] : 103, 110 [ 17 ] With eyes located on the sides of the head, the giraffe has a broad visual field from its great height.
