This is on top of the political strife many countries in the Sahara face and the fact that Fennecs are constantly hunted for their pelts by the locals due to the lack of concrete protections in the area thanks to centuries of wars, droughts, famines and military dictatorships. And yet they're not at risk of going extinct in the wild (they're listed as "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List for this reason). People tend to forget this when they see footage of Fennec Foxes and Sand Cats, despite their diminutive size and high-pitched screams, they are hyper-specialised, hyper-lethal vectors and predators who are more statistically successful as hunters than any Tiger, Wolf, Bear or large Wild Dog/Wild Cat.

They've probably been out there for millions of years in one form or another. That's how they've adapted. Also notice there are no humans out there which in itself is huge as the wildlife can survive like they've done for a very long time. It gets a lot more difficult for many species to survive with humans around unless of course they've evolved to live alongside us. Once we humans figure out a way to turn a desert into a thriving ecosystem, with skyscrapers and what not many of these creatures will probably go extinct.

Actually, foxes are dogs, while cats are cats, cats and dogs are entirely different families and are not closely related, both are classified within the order Carnivora, but dogs are specifically part of the suborder Caniformia alongside the bears, pinnipeds, weasels, otters, raccoons, and skunks, while cats are part of the suborder Feliformia along with the hyenas, civets, mongooses, and malagasy carnivorans, the biggest difference between the suborders Caniformia (Dog-Like Carnivorans) and Feliformia (Cat-Like Carnivorans) is the auditory bullae, the auditory bullae seen in caniforms are single-chambered or partially divided composed of just one bone, while the auditory bullae seen in feliforms are double-chambered composed of two bones joined by a septum, foxes are more dissimilar to cats than ever thought, foxes have more in common with other dogs than they do with cats, in addition to dogs having more in common with bears than with cats, more surprisingly, hyenas actually have more in common with cats than they do with dogs.
