Their wild nature triumphs over human attempts to tame their spirits. Those who have tried to keep a fox at home know well the challenges involved. An intriguing experiment with foxes conducted by Russian scientists attempts to replicate the process of domestication. In the late 1950s, geneticist Dmitry K. Belyaev endeavored to create a population of domesticated foxes. Through a breeding program at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics in Novosibirsk, Russia, he aimed to trace the […] The post Domesticated Foxes: A Breakthrough in Animal Friendship and Genetic Innovation appeared first on LIFE on the PLANET LADAKH.
