Hi, if my charactar has a bite attack (Kitsune or some thielfings), and i choose a totem for my barbarian class that implies a bite attack, what happend?!!!
1) I have 2 bite attack
That one.
You end up with two different bite attacks - just like you can carry around two different weapons and decide which one to use.
One of the bite attacks only works while Raging. They will likely have different traits and damage. You can use the ancestry bite attack while raging if you want.
But you don't combine the two of them into one take-the-best attack. That doesn't match what the rules are saying and would be too powerful in certain circumstances.

When you Rage, you gain your chosen animal's unarmed attack (or attacks). The specific attack gained, the damage it deals, and its traits are listed on Table 3–3: Animal Instincts. These attacks are in the brawling group. Your Rage action gains the morph, primal, and transmutation traits.
Wouldn't Bestial Rage having the morph trait suggest that a character's non-raging unarmed attacks with the same name are replaced with the raging version while raging? If a character has a "bite" attack and gains a "jaws" attack from raging, I wouldn't say they lose access to the bite. But what about Ape instinct barbs (if we ignore that there's practically no reason they'd want to), would they still be able to use their non-ape fist unarmed attack while raging?

Yeah, that is a good point. So while raging the new bite attack replaces an existing bite attack.
It wouldn't replace other body part unarmed attacks though. So you could still use those ancestry unarmed attacks while raging.
And you definitely still don't combine two unarmed attacks together into a combined super attack.

No, that is definitely not a thing. You can use multiple actions to attack with your bite, but multiplying the number of Strikes you make because of how many attacks you have available is not a mechanic that exists.
