Which animal would you domesticate if you could pick one?
-
That is not domesticated. It has dual passive income, no housing costs, and a source of free meals that is more convenient than eating said source of meals. That thing will maul somebody if the arrangement is no longer convenient and aligned with it's interests.

Fennec fox. Perhaps raccoon, or maybe otter, or a seal. There’s a lot honestly

Probably red pandas. I'm still a bit surprised they are wild animals, they seem too silly to be like...doing their own thing out there.
I too want to domesticate a Firefox
-
Penguin, I want to see a penguin wearing thigh highs and an arch linux shirt :3
those would be the shortest thigh highs ever
-
Tall horse 🦒
I always thought of them as necky camels more than horses
-
Gorillas and monkeys.
Gorillas are intelligent enough to learn sign language, so if you could teach a group, nature, uh, nature would find a way
-
Tbh, a pet that's friendly and tameable like a dog but physically a wolf would be cool. I think wolves are very cute.
The closest you can get is a malamute, assuming the wolf in question is like a grey wolf

Sparrows.

A bear walks into a bar and says "I'll have a ............................. beer." The bartender asks: "Why the big pause?" The bear responds: "I don't know, I was born with them."
(Pic in OP relevant. Even bear cubs have big paws.)
-
Zebras. It's just a bug that we can't, right? It's just a stripey horse!
Zebras are extremely aggressive and violent
-
Donkey. Many have tried and gotten killed in the process.
Alternatively, Triceratops.
I once had to help an ass that had either been dumped or escaped and ended up at a park until the animal wrangling guy came. It was the sweetest creature I could ever imagine. All it wanted was to stand next to me and lightly push its head against my arm until I gave it pets and scratches. One of the best 30 minutes of my life.

This actually seems realistic, foxes have been domesticated in a short period of time, and fennecs are adorable

I made a zebra out of myself due to having a brainfart ad I wrote my original comment. See edit.

I'm assuming the hypothetical domestication process proposed by OP is magical though.

Is this a rabbit hole I want to go down?
-
I am trying to befriend crows right now so I agree with this haha
How’s it going? What are you doing to try?
This is on my wish list of things to do, but I always forget to start.

I'd take a unicorn or dragon.

Domesticated microraptor. It would be cool as hell, and also imply that we've somehow resurrected a dead species.

Your original comment isn't that far off, though. Donkeys are often kept with other animals because they can be ornery and mean as fuck, killing predators that come near where they're being corralled. They're known as the rural alarm system for a reason.
