Their hind legs are longer and more powerful than their fore limbs, with the latter possessing tiny hand-like appendages and a developed thumb, giving them versatility for grasping and climbing. Technically classified as marsupials, Argelian kitsunes have a lower body temperature and metabolism than their mammalian counterparts, | As rare as they are, Argelian kitsunes are remarkably similar in physiology to medium-sized Earth rodents such as squirrels and marmots, possessing a furred body and tufted ears, along with whiskered muzzles containing large incisors perfected for gnawing on fruits and nuts.
