Libya 1997 Wildlife: Fennec Fox

Libya · 1997 · 500 dirhams

This stamp features a Fennec Fox (Vulpes zerda), a small nocturnal fox native to the Sahara Desert and other parts of North Africa. The design captures the animal's most distinctive feature: its unusually large ears, which serve to dissipate heat. The stamp is part of a series showcasing the diverse wildlife of Libya.

Issued in 1997, this stamp reflects a period of relative stability in Libya and a common philatelic practice of promoting national fauna and natural heritage.
