Firstly, you should see the foxes that live near my parents house in East London/Essex! There about the size of a large retriever/labrador! . Secondly, look at the size of birds! They originated from dinosaurs! But evolution made them smaller as it helped with their need to fly! Look at us Humans, there is quite a big difference in the accepted "normal" hight of a man now and a man 100 years ago, also compare our hight to that of a Gorilla, we are much taller, but not as broad! . Its all down to evolution and natural selection! . A firther example is Great Danes and Jack Russels, both dogs, both from the same genetics yet a HUGE difference in size!
