    They’re talking about fully wild animals. Grab a baby squirrel, and it will enjoy human company in no time. Same with raccoons, ravens, mountain lions, etc.

    You’d be hard pressed to find an animal that doesn’t take to human companionship when given a real chance. And it has nothing to do with breeding.

      Let’s domesticate squirrels then! Not sure how we’ll use them, but we can worry about it later.

      Foxes are fully wild animals.

      ravens

      How about no? Domestication of one of smartest species sounds stupid.

        Problem is they then go around quothing.

        You’d be surprised.

        Yes? But the person I was replying to was talking about a study where an individual was essentially rapidly domesticating them.
