Dogs, sheep, goats, rabbits, cows, pigs, all of these animals
(and more) have floppy ears in captivity. Many of them have blotchy
spots, and shorter snouts too! Why are these traits common to
domesticated mammals? How can it possibly be a coincidence, when
these traits are rare in the wild and don't exist in the wild
counterparts of these species?
And what happens if we domesticate a new animal? Will they get
these traits too?
Get the real answers on this episode of Species.
