The majority of wildcats live today in Africa, and virtually none of them have provided the DNA from which supposed histories of domestication have been constructed by researchers. I once knew a guy who kept and raised cats. He also had tigers, cougars, and some other animals. But they don’t live in North America.

I guess most scientists would love to see their original research become the basis for a vast field of further studies. Superb Starlings avoid this when using helpers, much like rich people presumably reducing the stress of raising kids by hiring a couple of nannies. ” If you happen to be a European Bee-eater , you are in luck.
