ZOOLOGY ... Animals and why we need them

This series covers not only dogs and wolves

but many different animals and why we need them all!



What makes a dog different from a wolf? A 

wild animal survives largely on its own, but a domesticated animal 

has entered into a thousands-of-years-old partnership with human 

beings. We feed them and protect them, and in return, many work for 

us and share their companionship with us.

Domestication is not just “taming” an animal; over generations, it can

change an animal's biology as well. In part two of our series, we are 

going to explore how humans and certain animals became close 

partners.
