Selective Breeding of Foxes into Domestication

Read a lengthy write-up and see more videos at my Turning Foxes Into House Pets blog post. This is really a very fascinating study.

I remember reading about this a few years ago, though the adrenaline thing was never was not explained. I wonder when they'll start selling them as domestic pets, rather than animals that won't be as aggressive when you try to separate their skin from their body.

I also understand they're very odorous animals, as cute as they are I can't see many people wanting something nearly as pungent as a skunk living with them.

I thought this was by far the most interesting part of a very interesting show.
