Which animal would you domesticate if you could pick one?
-
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.
-
I just want to be ready, in case everyone else chooses violence.
If, all of a sudden, there were a handful of people that had a magical connection with an otherwise dangerous animal; I imagine, either those people would fight each other or team up against someone with a robot army. Either way, a tiger would have a lot of weak points, even with armor.
-
Fair point.
For a truly scary animal to have on your side, what do you think of wasps? Airborn, vicious and capable of team work.
-
Well, they're not domesticated enough to let me pet them unless I catch a chick which fell off a nest.
