    Homework

    1. Why do you think the selective breeding of foxes started?

    2. What's the difference between the earliest and latest changes of the fox generations?

    3. What should you take under consideration before purchasing a fox or any other pet?

    4. What do you think? What are the obstacles of keeping the listed pets? Write about at least 3
    of the animals below:
    - domesticated mice, axolotl, gold fish, persian cat, ferret, maltese dog, shiba inu, guinea pig,
    red fox

    Answers:

    1. For example domesticated silver foxes are the result of an experiment which was
    designed to demonstrate the power of selective breeding to transform species, as
    described by Charles Darwin in On the Origin of Species. And I think that selective
    breeding started for more unique types of foxes to be created.
    2. Foxes used to show aggressive behavior with humans and now they do not, and also
    foxes used to show avoidance in humans and now they are not doing that at all.
    Because of that today we have them also as pets. I think that is the main difference.
    3. If you want a fox as a pet it's important to keep in mind, however, that owning a fox is
    unlike owning dogs and cats. You should take under consideration that foxes are some
    kind of wild animals and you need to be careful with them they are not dogs or cats also
    the best fox to have as pet is fox with big ears because they are small, have a long
    lifespan, and are also cute and all these things make this fox a good choice as a pet.
    4. Obstacles for keeping a red fox as a pet: They have not been domesticated so they are
    difficult to tame, and also they make damage and chaos at home.
    Obstacle for keeping a guinea pig as a pet: They hate temperature change, for example
    anything warmer than 80 degrees ор anything colder than five degrees it’s not
    comfortable for them and because of that you need to change the temperature all the
    time.
    Obstacle for keeping an axolotl as a pet: They need a lot of care and because of that
    caring an axolotl is complex and requires a great deal of maintenance. Axolotls require
    an aquatic environment with very specific temperature, water quality and husbandry
    requirements. Axolotls can live for up to 10 years of age if cared for correctly.
