Dog came first, then horse, then cattle.

The “Complete” man cultural tool kit is those things ubiquitous because they provide qualitative advantages over those who lack them, leading to the conquest of the world at the hands of the cultural decendents of the first peoples to collect all three.

I remember a sci-fi story (or maybe there were two stories?) where humans colonize and terraform a water planet and use orcas as "herd dogs" for aquaculture "ranching" of tuna and such.
>>
>>5148104
People already used orcas for this during whaling. They'd feed the tongues and shit to orcas and use them to lead the ships to other whales or herd them and make them easier to capture. So that isn't too far off already since humans have done it since the 1800s at least.

Sharks haven't been apex predators for all that time. For like 90% of shark evolution they were like any other fish and getting chowed on. It's not until fairly recently that actual shark sharks roamed the seas. And even then they got rekt by marine reptiles and then mammals with orcas and whales.

There's a good reason a lot of people have a "fear" of swimming in water. Their ancestors didn't get eaten by water monsters.

Use a long tined slicker brush on his tail to maximize floof. It's really an excellent thing. Nearly as good as a tuckered out pup.

Herd structure also works against them. It's not as tight as sheep, making the previously mentioned penning issue even more painful. Sheep are both easier to contain, and easier to manage when not in containment. You can breed a trait like not dying of stress while barely thinking about it, even being docile is easy enough, but fundamentally changing herd dynamics would be hard to even get started on.

Could Pale Foxes actually be aliens in disguise? Feel free to speculate in this thread about posting and posting about foxes.
