Foxes.
In 1959, a Soviet geneticist named Dmitry K. Belyaev began experimenting with breeding domesticated foxes. More than 50 years and thousands of foxes later, his program continues at The Institute of Cytology and Genetics in Novosibirsk, Siberia.
Belyaev’s work centered around unlocking the secrets of domestication and the links between behavior, breeding, and physical traits… but the rest of us can reap the benefits of his groundbreaking work. These pets come with a price tag, but for $8,000 you can legally own one from the only certified facility in the world.
If the the price seems heartbreakingly steep -which it is- then take a gander at these little cuties below. Some are wild and others are raised to love humans… but they’re all just so darn cute.
