Which animal would you domesticate if you could pick one?
-
Zebras are extremely aggressive and violent
-
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?
-
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.
-
Foxes. They're like a cross between cats and dogs, with their cute fluffy tails.

So far its only been a well and I'm starting to realize that I haven't chosen a good spot to place food and should find a spot or feeder where I can have water and the food in a nice open part of the yard.
I was playing with dogfood and saw 1 juvenile crow only because I had set up a camera from a old phone, today I got some unshelled unsalted peanuts.
I think to get the ball rolling better I need to go walk around and find some crows and lead them towards the house.
I grabbed a old broke plant pot made of ceramic and broke the ceramic into small pieces so I can offer some shiny objects to the crows so maybe they either see the food better or take this as a gift and start connecting with my spot more.
I don't think I am on their normal route and we have a lot of other miscellaneous birds and dogs and cats and some small predator wild animals around and in a suburb so i don't think it will be very easy to get them to come regularly, I was surprised to even get the one bird once. -
You should listen to and smell a fox before embarking on that kind of project.
-
I mean, obviously a lion.
-
Russians inadvertantly did that, when trying to rear blue foxes for fur. Selecting for tameness altered the coat.
-
Get a chicken. They still know they're dinossaurs.
-
I've read somewhere some have been successfully (more or less) tamed.
-
So, essentially, you chose violence, be it through He-Man (Battle Cat) or the Teenage Mutant Turtles (Rocksteady).
-
Wasps; I'm going to be a supervillain now.
-
Sparrows are already semi domesticated due to living near human settlements basically since we started farming.
