Here's a clip from an episode of NOVA ("Dogs Decoded") we caught last night, which describes an ongoing Russian experiment to breed domesticated silver foxes. I'm not thrilled about the small cages, but the science is fascinating, and they really do seem like they'd make awesome pets:



Another segment, about an experiment to see what would happen if wolf cubs were raised indoors like puppies, reminded me of act one of a typical Fatal Attractions episode, except that the scientists were smart enough to call a halt once things got dangerous.
