The Fox, the Jackal and the Dunes - A Desert Night Listen for Children

Close your eyes and step into the golden dunes of the Kalahari, where the sand sings as it shifts in the wind. The desert may seem quiet, but listen closely—the land hums, the wind whispers, and somewhere in the distance, a jackal calls.

In this immersive episode of Little Listens, young explorers will meet the clever fennec fox, the tiniest fox in the world with giant ears made for listening. They’ll follow the tricky jackal, always sniffing, searching, and outsmarting the desert. And high above, a sandgrouse soars, flying far to collect water in its feathers for the tiny chicks waiting below.

As the sun sets over the dunes, the wind hums its endless, shifting song, and the desert comes alive with sound. Close your eyes, take one last deep breath of the warm desert air… and listen to The Fox, Jackal & The Dunes.

Perfect for bedtime, quiet time, or curious explorers on the go.
