A year old article in National Geographic mentioned how Russian Geneticists had been, for roughly 50 years, been working to domesticate the Silver Fox.
In America, typical conversation notes that species native to the continent aren't able to be domesticated. Yet the story of the Hare Indian Dog and the Russian Foxes has got me thinking that it might be possible.
So, what American native species, besides the Llama, would be able to be domesticated? My thoughts are on the Red Fox, Coyote, Bison, and maybe the American Black Bear.
Is this plausible? What would be the possible implications of this turn of events?
