During his service as a mail pilot in the Sahara, Saint-Exupéry had viewed a fennec (desert sand fox), which most likely inspired him to create the fox character in the book.
Palvellessaan Saharan autiomaassa postilentäjänä Saint-Exupéry näki aavikkoketun, joka todennäköisesti inspiroi häntä luomaan kirjan viisauksia jakavan kettuhahmon.
Fennec foxes (and other species of fox adapted to life in the desert, such as kit foxes), for example, have large ears and short fur to aid in keeping the body cool.
Aavikkoketuilla (ja muilla aavikolla elämään sopeutuneilla kettulajeilla kuten Vulpes macrotiksella) on suuret korvat ja lyhyt turkki, jotta keho pysyisi viileänä.
In the largest species, the red fox, males weigh on average between 4.1 and 8.7 kg (9.0 and 19.2 lb), while the smallest species, the fennec fox, weighs just 0.7 to 1.6 kg (1.5 to 3.5 lb).
