They can be domesticated for companionship, food or to do jobs for us. Their internal make-up is different from their wild counterparts. Wild: Animals that remain in their genetically natural state. They may be living in a zoo or in their natural habitat. Their internal make-up has not been changed by humans.

6 years ago I rescued this little one who was in the middle of the street. It was as soft as I had imagined. Then hubby made me put the baby down on the lawn. For a while mommy and baby would drop by to hang out on our lawn. A magical experience.
