The Foxer
Warm-Up Foxer (What am I?)
I'm found in Africa and parts of the Middle East. I'm mentioned in the Bible. There's money in my manure. I'm a sun worshipper and singer. I'm looked up to in Zimbabwe's second city. I'm related to a much larger mammal. My arch-enemy bears the name of a distinguished French ornithologist.

PHLPLR KN
Persuasion would be…
PRSSN
The last four entries in the list – those marked with asterisks – are especially fiendish. Not only are they vowel-less, they have also been anagrammed.
