Перевод: В мире существует более двух тысяч видов животных, но только два или три десятка из них являются домашними. Все остальные обитают в естественной среде и не поддаются приручению. Их обычно относят к диким животным. Дикие животные отличаются от домашних внешним видом, поведением и пищевыми привычками. Но ключевое различие между ними – это отношение к человеку. Дикие животные всегда воспринимают людей скорее как врагов, а не как друзей. Страх перед человеком заложен у них генетически, и даже если вам удастся приручить одного из них, то его потомки не родятся ручными.
