Domesticated Siberian foxes are bound to be the next ‘in’ pet. These silver foxes were domesticated on the sly (get it?) by a scientist working in Soviet Russia. Their story is fascinating, and was featured on a recent episode of Radiolab.
If you’re wondering about how they’d fare as pets, it sounds like they act as cute as they look:
If the fox lives outside, the cage should have a bottom or the walls of the cage should be dug deep enough so that the fox cannot dig a hole and escape. Inside your house, they will snuggle on a bed like a cat.
The cutest piece of science history can be yours, for only $6,000.
