Most scientists think that the wolf is the main origin of the domestic dogs we find nowadays. However, not only the wolves but also the jackals, coyotes and even the dingoes. One example are the dogs in India which look like the local jackals.
The question was, how were they able to control these wild animals and became their buddies? We all know about the cave people, who lived inside the caves for the rest of their lives, hunting using stones and spears. Often times, these animals would live beside their caves. When these people live, they scavenge for leftover meat. However, some are too cruel and kill these animals, instead. Sometimes, they also play with the young ones.
Years have passed and they got used to it. Their puppies are know grown to be more affectionate to the human beings. They became hunting partners of the humans. They give each other a part of what they were able to catch. Crossbreeding began to happen.
Most famous foxes:
1. Red Fox
The red foxes of America were unlike the foxes that were found in Europe, Asia and North Africa. However, they have similar behavior and looks. They have a sharp and ling nose and they are covered with their golden red coat. These foxes can be also affected with rabies.
2. White Fox ( Arctic)
This kind of fox lives in the most northern part of the world. Its ears are rounded and shorter than ordinary foxes. When summer arrives, their coat turns from whit to dull, gray brown coats. When fall arrives, some became gray blue and some are really white. During the time of summer, they hunt on rodents and lemmings. They also follow polar bears if they spot one to wait for whatever it kills from the sea and tries to share it with them.
