| | Trouble in Paradise: California's Island Fox - National Zoo FONZ |
 | | Back then, the northernmost islands were easier to reach because the sea level was much lower, exposing now-submerged parts of the islands that are connected to each other and that are closer to the mainland. | | | The foxes are thought to have spread to the southernmost Channel Islands beginning about 10,000 years ago, probably as pets or totems of the Chumash Indians who lived on the islands and along parts of the California coast. | | | Worse, the San Miguel and Santa Rosa island foxes are extinct in the wild, down from 450 and 1,500, respectively, in 1994. |
