My friend is an owner of a pet fox, and I've never seen a more intelligent pet in my life. My coati, who I have unfortunately had to leave with my dad in Hawai'i, is smart, but I haven't been able to teach him the kinds of tricks that this fox knows. Plus, the fox has proved to be an invaluable mouser, where his cat just sits around lazily waiting for you to fill up its food bowl.
As I know that foxes are domesticatable, I started reading up about other animals that could be tamed/domesticated and came across this very interesting article regarding tame moose: http://moosefarm.newmail.ru/e020.htm
In my William will always be a bastard... timeline, I've been toying with of the settlement of North America beginning much earlier in Eastern Canada and much, much, much slower during the Medieval Period. In the wake of the disease that will inevitably sweep over the continent as a result of European contact, I was wondering what you guys' thoughts are on the possibility of moose/fox domestication in place of scarce animals from Europe and its effects on Native American society? Also, as many Native Americans had no form of hard currency, what do you think about an organized barter system developing?
