By itself, Minecraft offers some token animal life. You can find (and sometimes tame) pigs, horses, sheep, and chickens. There's also uglier, angrier wildlife, including spiders and silverfish.
After 12 generations of selective breeding, the corticosteroid level in the tame foxes' plasma was "slightly more than half the level in a control group". After 28 to 30 generations, "the level had halved again." At the same time, the tame foxes' brains contained higher levels of serotonin. Moreover, tame male foxes' skulls gradually became ...
The fennec fox is bred commercially as an exotic pet. [27] Commercial breeders remove the pups from their mother to hand-raise them, as tame foxes are more valuable. A breeders' registry has been set up in the United States to avoid any problems associated with inbreeding. [49]

The study concluded that during early dog domestication, the initial selection was for behavior.
