What is being measured?
Chosen midpoint of the zoo's 4–6 in ear-length range. It is not a measured average, body length, or distance from ear tip to ear tip; individual animals vary.
The comparison uses the midpoint of the stated range. That midpoint is a chosen reference, not a measured population mean.

Put the length in perspective
One Fennec fox ear represents approximately 1.48 card lengths measured end to end. This is a length ratio; it does not calculate how the objects pack or fit.
