A baby Fennec wakes up from a snooze at the Sunshine International Aquarium in Tokyo


Distinctive ears: Fennecs have large ears, adapted to disperse heat in the hot Sahara sun, as well as to help them hear prey and predators easily


Three's a crowd: These bundles of joy love their human owners - but mostly enjoy scampering around and playing together


Paws for thought:The inquisative creatures can be tamed and brought up as pets - but make sure you have the energy to keep up with them


Snuggled up: Three Fennecs cuddle together in a show of brotherly love

[size=1.2em]Gazing curiously back at the camera, the baby Fennec fox cubs wake up from their afternoon doze to meet a greet visitors at a Tokyo zoo.

[size=1.2em]Just a few months old, the cute, cuddly and inquisitive animals are ready to explore the world - but not before waiting for their zookeeper parents to provide them with their daily sustenance.

[size=1.2em]And with their tame nature and their startling resemblance to the Japanese craze of collectible Pokémon toys, there's probably going to be more than a few children asking their parents for their own 'Pikachu'.

[size=1.2em][size=1.2em]The Pokémon craze started in Japan, and then spread worldwide, fuelled in part by computer games on Nintendo console systems.

[size=1.2em]The lead character, Pikachu, became a worldwide sensation, and the resemblance with the Fennec cubs is easy to spot.

[size=1.2em]The Fennec cubs were born on May 17 at the Sunshine City Aquarium in Tokyo, but they needed a month of rest to prepare for their public debut.

[size=1.2em]At birth, the cubs only weighed 0.076lb (38g) each - but when they mature they can grow up to 2.46ft long (75cm) long, including their tails, and weigh up to 3lb (1.5kg).

[size=1.2em]There's some dispute in the scientific community as to whether these are true foxes or not. They are the only know type of fox to live in packs in the wild, and there are vital genetic differences, such as the number of chromosomes compared to other foxes.
