Fennec

Official game info from University of Body:

Build a Fennec trap using boards and rope. Each night, traps on the outskirts of a pack will show signs of the creatures, and traps within 250 coordinates will capture one. At least four different subspecies of Fennecs must be captured and released.

Fennecs are a species of desert fox. They are officially adorable.

• Building a Fennec trap takes 4 Boards and 1 Rope and can only be build on sandy soil (when sand icon is shown). Projects>Tests>Safari
  • Traps disintegrate after 30 days, by design.
• Checking your traps once per Egyptian day should be sufficient, since the status might only change once per day, at 3:00am. (was at cage that caught day before, at 2.05 am no signs, at 3.10 am signs - Pascalito)
• There are at least 6 kinds of Fennecs. One each of 4 different sub-species must be captured. Sub-species include:
  • Pygmy
  • Short-haired
  • Sharp-toothed
  • Ruddy
  • Bushy-tailed
  • Furry
  • Brown
• There are 3 possible messages:
  1. "The Trap is perfectly clean, not even a Fennec hair to be seen.", which means that there are no fennecs near. Or the trap has been checked earlier that day and had a fennec in it!
  2. "Although the trap doesn't contain a live animal, you definitely see signs of Furry Fennecs!", which means that a fennec should be within 250 to 600 coordinates. Build more traps within that range (outside the 250 coords circle). {note the outer most limit of "you see signs of Furry Fennecs!" will be 1000 coords from the center point. you will get the "not even a Fennec hair to be seen" sign beyond 1000}
  3. "You have captured a Furry Fennec! You let the little fellow go to rejoin his pack.", which means that you will have captured a fennec of a specific subspecies, as indicated.
• After you have captured all 4 subspecies of fennecs, it is a good custom to make your trap usable by anyone, to help others find good locations for capturing fennecs. Announcing locations to your friends, guild chat or even public chat might be helpful. Listing them here is also a good idea. [EDIT --Aperio 14:19, 10 June 2011 (EST): Late in the Tale, there's almost no reason not to make them public to start with so you don't have to run back to make them all public (can they be guilded?). Like Shroomdar, I'd think that having more searchers provide data even if they cleaned your winning trap might be a valuable resource to all (and save you fruitless trips).

Pro-tip:

• An easy way to catch fennecs is if someone announces a capture of a type you have not caught, build a trap 250 coordinates away in each cardinal direction from the announced capture point.
• Template:5okThis must be done before the fennecs move at 2:00am. After 2:00am, check your four traps and one will have a fennec!
• tehm: I dropped traps between 2am and 3:30am, checked after 4am and mine were all still clean, but other public traps in the area showed signs. They may move at a different time now.
• New traps have to built before 2am and then checked after the move at 2am - BG Template:5ok
• I've had them move at midnight, so place your traps prior to 12am. -Qu

Key

• Green: PRIVATE Clean or New
• Purple: PUBLIC (not mine)
• Yellow: PUBLIC Clean or New last I checked
• Orange: PUBLIC - Signs last I checked
• Red: PUBLIC - HOT - caught last I checked
• B: Brown
• Y: Bushy-Tailed

Yeah I didn't think that out well.
