I upvoted, but a side of me keeps on saying "WTF? He's got a wild animal as a pet? How fucking dare he!" And my totem no less.

strangely, it looks less healthy than a wild one.

The guy sounds like a real pervert the way he talks.

I saw this very interesting study conducted in Russia several decades ago. Basically they took a whole bunch of wild foxes into captivity and started interbreeding those which were the least aggressive toward their human captors. The most interesting part of the study is that after just a couple of generations of this selective breeding, evolution started kicking in and not only were the foxes completely docile, but their coats started changing colors and having different patterns and some of their ears got floppy. They just really started to not look like foxes any more.

This was truly fascinating not only because it can easily explain how there came to be so many different breeds of dog and how quickly that could happen, but to actually watch evolution happening in real time.

It's so interesting, I blogged about the study.
