Actually, they've adapted by staying in the shade when the sun's hot,
exactly as you say. This tends to prevent sunburns. You're leading to a
circular argument, though, since, being nocturnal because their prey is
clearly doesn't work for rabbits, since plants run away just as well at
night as they do during the day. Of course, there's something to be said
for hunting when your prey is asleep, too. It's much easier to chase
sleeping rabbits.

But do they burn? Being a creature of the desert they would've adapted to
the environment. The ears are used to cool themselves and regulate their
body temp hence the large surface area. They would seek shade or shelter if
the temp got too hot. Their being nocturnal may also mean the prey they
hunt is also nocturnal as well. If nothing else what about the rabits and
hares or the desert areas who also have large ears as well don't seem to
have this problem you speak of.

This still fails to explain fennecs, who would be subject to sunburn if they
weren?t nocturnal. You?re just digging yourself deeper and deeper.

Is this a world where humans never existed? before being touched by human
hands, they never had this problem. The critters mentioned below were the
product of meddling monkeyboys making creatures to suit their agricultural
needs or fancy.

Oh? What about porcine or hairless felines? They burn. So do some short hair
breeds and other critters.
How again is sun block useless?

A useless item sold in a furry world?
Sun block lotion.
Name other items found in this world not helpful
in furry worlds.
