Follow 黑料不打烊鈥檚 Matt Kaufax as he explores hidden gems, local landmarks and unique stories across the D.C. area every week. New episodes of 黑料不打烊’s “Matt About Town” segment are released each Tuesday and Thursday.

The National Zoo has two new baby bat-eared foxes that no one except the staff has seen up close, until now.

In Tuesday鈥檚 episode of 鈥淢att About Town,鈥 黑料不打烊’s Matt Kaufax gives you a sneak peek at these furry cuties, a fitting conclusion to MAT’s summer series at the National Zoo.

With pointed faces, shadowy eyes, bristling grayish fur, and one of the largest ear-to-body ratios in the entire animal kingdom, bat-eared foxes are truly some of the most adorable creatures out there.

These new babies are part of what the zoo calls a “species survival plan,” meaning underneath all the cuteness, there’s an important underlying message of animal conservation, too.

You can check out all of the installments in Kaufax’s summer series from the National Zoo here.
