The rare bat-eared fox (Otocyon megalotis), too Delalande's fox, long-eared fox, big-eared fox, and black-eared fox, is a small fox like mammal that belongs to the family of Canidae.
The bat-eared fox is very similar to the related smaller fennec fox (Vulpes zerda) from the deserts of North Africa.
The bat-eared fox occurs in two separate populations, one in southwest Africa (southern Zambia and Angola to South Africa), and one in east Africa (Ethiopia and southern Sudan to Tanzania, and extends as far east as Mozambique and Zimbabwe)..
The bat-eared fox is so called due to its distinctive, bat-wing-shaped ears, which can grow up to 14 cm. The large ears serve to dissipate heat. The fur colour can range from pale yellow, tawny to a deep honey colour, depending on where the individual is found and how old it is. The legs, ears and parts of the pointed face are black.
It averages 46 - 66 cm in length (head and body). The weight is 3.0 - 5.3 kg. Males tend to be larger and heavier than females.
The bat-eared fox commonly occurs in short grasslands, as well as the more arid regions of the savanna.
The bat-eared fox is predominantly an insectivore that uses its large ears also to locate its prey. About 80-90% of their diet are termites. Occasionally they eat small rodents, lizards, the eggs and chicks of birds, and plant matter.

De grootoorvos of lepelhond (Otocyon megalotis) is een Afrikaanse Canidae (hondachtige), nauw verwant aan de vos.
Beide soortnamen slaan op de grote oren van het dier, waarmee hij ondergrondse geluiden kan opvangen en zo termieten en andere prooidieren kan opsporen, maar ook warmte af te voeren.
De grootoorvos heeft behalve grote oren ook lange poten en een dikke, ruige vacht. De ondervacht is okerkleurig. De bovenzijde is grijzig geel. De poten, staartpunt, oorpunten en snuit zijn zwart, evenals het donkere masker rond de ogen.
De soort wordt 46 à 66 cm lang en 3 tot 5,3 kg zwaar.
De staart is 23 tot 34 cm lang, de oren zijn tot 12 cm lang.
De grootoorvos is nauw verwant aan de bijna gelijke, iets kleinere woestijnvos of fennek (Vulpes zerda) uit noordelijk Afrika.
De grootoorvos komt voor in twee 1000 km van elkaar gescheiden populaties, één in Zuidwest-Afrika en één in Oost-Afrika.
Ze leven in droge, open steppen en grasvlakten, voornamelijk in met acacia's begroeide savannen.
De belangrijkste prooidier zijn termieten (80 à 90% van het dieet) en mestkevers, maar ook andere ongewervelden worden gegeten.
Een enkele keer eet hij ook kleine gewervelde dieren, kuikentjes van vogels, eieren en vruchten.

The flour mill The cornflower is a striking flour mill, located on the Molendijk in Oude-Tonge, in the Dutch province of South Holland. The mill dates from 1748 and replaced an earlier mill on the same site. The mill was in operation until 1952. After years of decay, the Korenbloem has been restored and made ready for grinding. The mill has been owned by the Goeree-Overflakkee Mill Foundation since 1988. There is now 1 pair of stones in the mill; originally two were installed.
