where do foxes come from?

What an odd question. They come from variations of a dog-like species that evolved. What exactly are you asking?

In North America the red-sided garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis) reaches as far north as the southern tip of Alaska, and portions of the boreal forest across western Canada including parts of the Northwest Territories.  \n\nIn Europe and Asia, the adder or common viper (Vipera berus) can actually be found north of the Arctic circle in a few areas of Russia and Scandanavia, but still isn't really found on the tundra.

Tough it depends on the specie, if you look at  great horned owls, tough they prefer prey arround the size of a squirrel or a rabit they have been known to prey on items as large as skunks, racoons, porcupines, cats and small dogs, so a fox ,especially a pup could fall into that size range. One thing for sure, if a fox were to approach a great-horned's nest / nestling the parents would not hesitate to attack / kill it, as they have been known to go after humans who dared approach the nest.

I am going to guess that you are referring to the reintroduced wolves that have been placed in Yellowstone in the past decade.\n\nMost of the wolves came from Canada with a few orphans from northwestern Montana.

His father was Irish immigrant, came and bought huge amount of land  for dirt cheap in Guanajuato and built a ranch now worth millions. His mom Catalana from Spain. Fox was born in Mexico from immagrant parents as you can see. There are many immigrants from all over the world in Mexico too. Surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there really isn't a reason (see note below) we have this exact distribution of life.  species are constantly changing, however slowly.  sometimes one set of a species will become separated from another set.  each set may change in a different way.  so, many generations after the split, the two sets may not appear at all the same species.  We have just made a new species.  This has happened millions of times in the past.  scientists have evaluated structure and function in many species, and pieced together reasonable estimates of how tthings got to the way they are today.\n\nAnother way of answering your question is, within an ecosystem balance is necessary.  We need a good mix of plant, insect, bacteria, animals, etc., to support our world, and have had millions of years to reach that equilibrium.  A certain number of rabbits are required to support a certain number of foxes.  If too many foxes live in an area, they will deplete the rabbit population.  the rabbits will be harder to find, the foxes will get hungry and move on.  The fox population is now artificially low, so the rabbits exceed their ideal population.  It's easy to find them so foxes come back ...\n\nNOTE:  or God said that's how it is, depending on which side of the Science-Religion fence you sit.

Wolves came first. All dogs, even the weirdest breeds, can trace their genetic roots back to wolves.

1. Sorry, but I can't draw a graph on Yahoo! Answers.\n\n2. t = time, 600 (subtract 200 from 800), (subtract 2.9 from 5.1), -200 (subract 800 from 200).\n\n3. # of foxes = t (number of foxes added each year)\n\n4. Divide 5.1/2.9, then multiply the total number of foxes added per year and multiply it by 7, 0, 9.5, 2, or whatever number to get the fox population for that year.\n\nGood luck! :)

No, not always. A fox represents a force that is cunning,  a provider, intelligent, possesses feminine magic, is diplomatic, and wild.

Its horrible. The whole pest buissness is ridiculous. If they were a pest why do they need to be chased by dogs until exausted and then ripped apart. This is quite close to my heart my mother was running as a fox hunt was on and saw a fox chased. Later she saw it exhausted and dying because of it . How is that at all justifiable it is just barbaric and power hungry. " fight prejudice fight the ban" what a load of .. . If it was tradition to kick your dog would it be prejudice to try and stop this.\n\nHunting was natural when we did it for food do people eat foxes no they kill them and show them off its nothing to do with natural instinct so there is no need for it . And the disgusting way in which they are killed is not needed. In fact none of it is needed .\n\nMay i add- the "fox hunting" going on in Iraq, im from the UK i equally think that is unfair . I was not old enough to vote when Tony Blair was elected into power nor do i think the majority of the UK believed that Tony Blair would decide to lead this country into war. I for one protested against it as did a lot of people in the UK but did they listen no they did not

In addition to its fur color and thickness, the Arctic fox (Alopex lagopus) shows a combination of adaptations to cold climates that reflects "Allen's Rule".\nThis is basically an ecogeographical rule that states that homeotherm animals living at higher latitudes have shorter extremities (limbs, tail, ears, snout, etc) than their counterparts from warmer regions. \nYou could list these adaptations and explain their relationships with the environment. \n\nCheck here \nhttp://www.osee.org/interactions/Meanders.html \nfor an interesting discussion of this (scroll down to the heading "Animal Rules: the Ecogeographical Connection") .\n\nA different adaptation (that seemingly contradicts Allen's rule) is the possession of relatively large feet, which apparently enable this species to exert lower footloads on the soft substrate (snow). Here's a scientific publication that discusses this adaptation:\nhttp://people.trentu.ca/dennismurray/pdf/Murray%20and%20Lariviere%202002.pdf\n\nHope this helps :-)

No.  They come from satan.  Plain and simple.
