We met the world’s first domesticated foxes
www.youtube.com
We met the very cute and very bizarre result of an almost 60-year-long experiment: they’re foxes that have been specially bred for their dog-like friendlines...

I learned a lot about donestication from this video. I knew domestication was basically eugenic, but I didn’t realize it could happen in so few generations.

    How ironic that you passively accuse me of “projection” and then claim to quote “five” “owners” without citing your reference. Curious. 😶

      Amazing.

      1. Not talking about you, unless your TIL “fact” is some snippet you’ve made up yourself.

      2. I don’t quote “‘five’ owners”, I quote the two owners of five of these foxes saying that a fox does not act like a dog or a cat in the same way a horse doesn’t act like a dog or a cat. Are you drunk?

      3. Your confusion is not curious. You misread and misinterpreted the comments without even watching the video referenced in the OP.

        Hunh. Somehow even more telling. That tracks.

        1. You didn’t specify and continue with passive insinuation. Cute.

        2. Edited now, and yet even the corrected version doesn’t change the lack of citation.

        3. Ah, there’s the direct tantrum. Mid. What a joke.

        Bye, Felicia.

          I specifically cited the reference and your errors.

          You’re clearly just having trouble with words: you’ve ignored or definitely misunderstood all the comments and incorrectly used the words “specify”, “passive”, “insinuation”, “lack” “citation” and “tantrum”.

          You also had that earlier trouble with “five”.

          Tip: not a great idea to sign your name on social media
