@Ibrahim Abid That's not really true. Cheetahs are fairly affectionate and social. Whilst they are territorial, they will work together in groups. They show almost no aggression towards humans and are also one of the only big cats that can be easily tamed and socialise with humans, and there's a long history of cheetahs being kept as pets and being used for hunting, dating back to at least 1500BC. Also Cheetahs can often struggle with anxiety and stress in captivity and can be given emotional support dogs to help with this.

Several decades ago I bought a wolf pup from a breeder. I naively expected it to become as domestic as any dog. Well, yes and no, just as this couple with the foxes explained. My wolf bonded with me as her mother. She was loving and very affectionate to my family. She was very playful with a silly doggie-like sense of humor. But she was skittish and frightened of any loud noises. She was destructive, chewing things up, digging hole and even - yes, a cave! - and rearranging the backyard to her liking. She liked other dogs if they were more less her size. But she feared larger dogs, but literally wanted to eat toy breeds (had to be careful when out on the leash) and she killed my beloved cat. It was simply no life for her in suburban backyard. I finally had to make the extremely painful decision to part with my beloved wolf and find her a more appropriate home with a couple who lived in the woods. This was devastating for both me and my wolf, who viewed me as her momma. I am now very critical about people seeking out wild animals as pets. It's not a fair life for them to have to conform to a human world and comes with situations that you're often not prepared to deal with.

Not entirely true. Cats are literally solitary, they only meet during mating season. Foxes, although they mostly hunt alone, most often form a mating pair which is monogamous and frequently life long- and this pair will meet up for lengthy periods of time to groom and play together. Also, sometimes other adult foxes referred to as ‘helpers’ will stay with the breeding pair and be subordinate to them-mostly because one or more of their children decided to stay on in the family unit rather than leaving when they became able to hunt for themselves. Just because foxes hunt and eat independently doesn’t mean they don’t have the capacity to form social groups.

The JABCECC currently has 14 of the Russian domesticated foxes that people can come and interact with..... We have some that are 11 years old (with no socialization), some 8 years old (with a little bit) and some 3 years old (with a slight amount more) - all behave very differently than our wild or captive bred foxes. The Belyaev foxes seek out human attention (from those they know and those they have never met). They haven't met a person they didn't like and are willing to get scratches and pets from anyone. While they each have different personalities, they all are less afraid of novel environments than their counterparts. They truly are fascinating..... if you are ever in San Diego, look us up and schedule an encounter.

This will probably be lost in the comments but.... I live in the suburbs outside Philadelphia, in a rural area that is completely surrounded by urbanization. We have a huge diversity of wildlife and red foxes are no a exception. We have had a generations of the same family living in the naturalized brush on the edges of our property. Over the years they have slowly adapted to be less and less timid of my family. We now frequently see them during times that are non typical like laying on our lounge chairs during the daytime. We don’t give them hardly anything over than leaving our sole occasional meat scraps. So I guess we been unintentionally domesticating them? Nice! They certainly keep the mole, rabbit, and mice population under control. It also thing that being surrounded by urban development on all sides has prevented the coyotes from being able to compete as they require a large amount of territory that our township just doesn’t quite have.

Even when you are tired, busy, sick, want to go somewhere, or other things. If you are a clean freak, don't get a pet, period. Still, dogs and cats are the ones to get, if you decide to.

Ya boy Brent Foxes are more closely related to dogs than cats but behaviourally they are nowhere near dogs. Dogs are quite unique even among domesticated species; since they've evolved among humans for such an incredibly long time, they bond with humans in a way that no other type of animal does. I think it's fair to say these foxes are behaviourally similar to cats, or at least getting there, just like other domesticated carnivorans, like ferrets and skunks.

@lv89455 жыл бұрын
@@notchomomma239, Chihuahuas are biologically classified with other domestic dogs, which are identified as a subspecies of the gray wolf. The fox is a member of different subspecies. Smaller dogs and foxes are not related. In fact, all small size dogs including the chihuahua can breed with a wolf but they can't breed with a fox. The size of smaller dogs occurs because of a phenomenon known as convergent evolution, in which animals develop specific traits to meet specific biological needs.

This experiment further proved that dogs are nothing more than wolves bred selectively for “pet” qualities. I’d just like to see it done in spacious, comfortable surroundings-not cramped cages.

I think one reason why domesticated foxes aren't as "emotionally attached" as dogs are, might be because foxes aren't pack animals. Dogs came from wolves, whose very core existence depended on the strengths and emotional bonds of the pack. They are naturally and instinctively born to care about the well-being of their pack mates, know their place within the rankings of the pack, and work diligently to hunt with and feed the pack. Therefore, once domesticated into dogs, they came to see their human caretakers as their pack. They cared for the humans well-being, knew their place next to their human, and (back when they were first becoming domesticated, or for many, many years after) would hunt with their humans. That is why they are so uniquely "Man's best friend". Meanwhile, a fox goes pretty much its entire life alone, save for when it breeds and rears kits. They have no instinctual connection to anyone other than potential mates and their kits. But with said mates and kits, they are very loving and playful. So it's not too far-fetched for them to become a very beloved companion animal, but it will take many, MANY years for them to challenge a dog's natural perfectness for the job. They are like cats, or birds. They can love you, but in their own way. Some will be more affectionate than others, and when they're done receiving attention, they let you know it. They will not bow to your whims alone, because they are naturally inclined to think of themselves first. But that's just my thought on the whole thing.

Cats and dogs evolved from a common ancestor so they share traits anyway. Cats are less predictable in their depth of attachment but anybody who's had a lot of experience with cats will have had a few that were very atrached to the extent of being needy. That is where the comparison to cats comes in but it's an inaccurate comparison because more cats are snuggly than not. Cats and dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years, foxes for less than 100. I think what is being misinterpreted as cat behavior is really the shallow breadth of their domestic traits.

It played with the family dog and was so nice that he was even let to play with my mother (who was 2-3 years old at the time) without any problems. The fox wasn't aggressive and didn't mess up the furniture. My grandpa was closest to the fox and in old pictures you can always see the fox in my grandpa's lap smiling. The fox slept outside the house in his own dog house so he could go freely wander around and always came back in the morning to wait for my grandparents to open the door inside. Unfortunately after them having the fox for about 4-6 years he went missing and wasn't seen after that, my grandma told me that she believed the neighbor had caught it since he was a hunter, and owning a fox back then was not allowed and could get fined for owning one as a pet.

Pedro Ribeiro Exactly. Most people seem to think a „domesticated“ (I’ll put that in quotation marks as these foxes are not domesticated, that process tales far more generations than those puny sixty years) fox behaves like a dog with a fox’s fur, when it’s not going to be even close to that. The most important aspect of any animal to be potentially domesticated is a strong social structure. As you have already mentioned dogs are a prime example of that, while foxes just like tigers and all these other exotic animals that belong anywhere _but_ in a human‘s living room are solitary and as such not easily willing to share their time and space with others. They are just not _made_ to be someone’s status symbol.

Same here with my raccoons, even the ones born in captivity on a fur farm. I have to explain: Not domesticated! (In truth, have known some wild born raccoons to be more sociable than captive bred ones). I liked towards the end where the fox owner spoke of "those rare moments". Boom! That's the part that makes a wild animal unsuitable for 99% of humans, because they want and expect every moment to be that (as it is with a dog). That's such an unrealistic expectation. The relationship is on their terms, not ours, not negotiable! You get (who) you get. As always, what is missing here is the "individual" factor. Science and all of wildlife management (and too many people) just won't stop trying to shove entire species into one box. Every animal is a UNIQUE individual with his/her OWN personality and temperament. And how they think they're doing this study right with animals living in 4' barren wire cages is really pathetic. Any dog would become far less sociable subjected to that life :( who wouldn't?

That might be true. But I think you could never make a domesticated fox behave like a dog. Foxes live like wolves in family groups with a social structure but the big difference is that foxes hunt most of the time alone and wolves hunt most of the time in a pack. That's a very complex task that requires a lot of empathy and social interaction. I think dogs are so clingy because they are genetically hardwired to protect their master (alpha-dog) and to accomplish a mission together (hunting). The hunting pattern of foxes is much more similar to wild cats than wolves. You can only breed with genes that are already there.

@flint3Dx6 жыл бұрын
The comparison to wild cats vs wolves is on the nose, however the idea of "alpha" individuals in wolf packs was disproved quite a while back. That was a theory of Dave Mech's back in the 70's that gained traction, which he's since put a lot of work into rebuking. The relationship is more like strict parents and their children, as well as (in the case of unrelated individuals joining the pack) young friends of the family. So in tense, complicated social interactions like hunting, yearlings and pups don't necessarily try to protect and serve their master, but rather work together as a family under the guidance of a parent or parents toward a common goal. I know this is a minor point, but I think it reinforces your point more - foxes don't have this same opportunity to create social bonds with their peers and relatives because they split off from the family group years before a wolf normally would. While a wolf spends years creating social cues for survival's sake.

This is how my mom and I plan to raise our future fox. My aunt and uncle have a golden who they are planning on breeding, so we are getting one of their puppies. When we get a puppy, we are going to get a fox welp shortly after my mom gets her exotic ownership license. We are moving in the summer to a home in Tennessee which will be on plenty of land for our animals (our two current cats included) to be able to run, plus a pool for our fox and golden to be able to swim in. The house will also be big enough to fit them. We are already starting to get what we will need for our fox and golden retriever.

@@azazel8700 It's definitely a part of the human psyche, now granted not everyone is the same, some will have higher levels of empathy than others and obviously, psychopaths and sociopaths exist. As humans though we're social creatures that rely on others to get by that's just how we evolved. So empathy is indeed programmed into our brains as it's helped us survive, though there will always be anomalies and verying degrees. One's empathy can also be easily effected by outside variables, growing up is different for everyone of course.

@@EvilSanity We are social creatures, sure, but does it really mean that the normal, almost all of them, human beings really do care and value the life of the other humans? Because when I look to society I see a logical construct of survival, but a soulless grinder as well, everyday all around there's always signs of human brutality and apathy. It all reminds me of dolphins or chimpanzees, that live in groups but will purposefully brutalize each other for fun or food, living together for convenience and survival, not for love or care

@Azazel There are a few factors and reasons for this. Civilization is complicated, and culture and tradition can have huge influences on one's ability to empathise with others. Connections between others also usually need to be formed in order for empathy to really kick in. For instance, most don't care about issues that don't directly impact them. One's ability to empathise varies due to many factors. You could also be suffering from information overload, in this digital age you have an endless stream of information. Unfortunately, the majority of the information you will retain will be negative leading to a very pessimistic view of the world. There is good and bad but good stories don't get as many clicks. Social structures in many civilizations can and have been exploited by bad people but there are always those resisting injustice because empathy persists. It's very difficult to show compassion when you see others be so cruel, but no one is born to be cruel. it's a learnt behaviour to be cruel because of human constructs that allow being cruel to move up in society. As for other animals it's similar, fear is an easy form of control but not a reliable one, said animals will usually end in territorial battles. A lack of empathy you could argue shows a lack on intelligence as it can only get you so far.

Well as the first few seconds of the video clarified: Taming and domestication are two different things. Taming is what you are calling domestication while what domestication actually involves an extremely long process of selective breeding for less and less wild traits. This only 60 years of progress, not even close to being fully domesticated if that gives you an idea on how long domestication takes.
