However, I did also think of the way coyotes in urban areas sometimes lose their fear of humans. Considering that, I agree with you, this kind of research could be very important for many fields of biology including wildlife management (If foxes can be domesticated, what's to be said of the fate of other carnivorous/omnivorous animals facing urbanization? Will they too become more accepting of humans through generations, whether or not domestication occurs?) Dana Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02972828793548711930noreply@blogger.com
