Phew. This one took, uh… a bit longer than expected due to other projects both irl and art-wise, but it’s finally here. The long-awaited domestic animal infographic! Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough space to cover every single domestic animal (I’m so sorry, reindeer and koi, my beloveds) but I tried to include as many of the “major ones” as possible.

I made this chart in response to a lot of the misunderstandings I hear concerning domestic animals, so I hope it’s helpful!

Further information I didn’t have any room to add or expand on:

🐈 “Breed” and “species” are not synonyms! Breeds are specific to domesticated animals. A Bengal Tiger is a species of tiger. A Siamese is a breed of domestic cat.

🐀 Different colors are also not what makes a breed. A breed is determined by having genetics that are unique to that breed. So a “bluenose pitbull” is not a different breed from a “rednose pitbull”, but an American Pitbull Terrier is a different breed from an American Bully! Animals that have been domesticated for longer tend to have more seperate breeds as these differing genetics have had time to develop.

🐕 It takes hundreds of generations for an animal to become domesticated. While the “domesticated fox experiment” had interesting results, there were not enough generations involved for the foxes to become truly domesticated and their differences from wild foxes were more due to epigenetics (heritable traits that do not change the DNA sequence but rather activate or deactivate parts of it; owed to the specific circumstances of its parents’ behavior and environment.)

🐎 Wild animals that are raised in human care are not domesticated, but they can be considered “tamed.” This means that they still have all their wild instincts, but are less inclined to attack or be frightened of humans. A wild animal that lives in the wild but near human settlements and is less afraid of humans is considered “habituated.” Tamed and habituated animals are not any less dangerous than wild animals, and should still be treated with the same respect. Foxes, otters, raccoons, servals, caracals, bush babies, opossums, owls, monkeys, alligators, and other wild animals can be tamed or habituated, but they have not undergone hundreds of generations of domestication, so they are not domesticated animals.

🐄 Also, as seen above, these animals have all been domesticated for a reason, be it food, transport, pest control, or otherwise, at a time when less practical options existed. There is no benefit to domesticating other species in the modern day, so if you’ve got a hankering for keeping a wild animal as a pet, instead try to find the domestic equivalent of that wild animal! There are several dog breeds that look and behave like wolves or foxes, pigeons and chickens can make great pet birds and have hundreds of colorful fancy breeds, rats can be just as intelligent and social as a small monkey (and less expensive and dangerous to boot,) and ferrets are pretty darn close to minks and otters! There’s no need to keep a wolf in a house when our ancestors have already spent 20,000+ years to make them house-compatible.

🐖 This was stated in the infographic, but I feel like I must again reiterate that domestic animals do not belong in the wild, and often become invasive when feral. Their genetics have been specifically altered in such a way that they depend on humans for optimal health. We are their habitat. This is why you only really see feral pigeons in cities, and feral cats around settlements. They are specifically adapted to live with humans, so they stay even when unwanted. However, this does not mean they should live in a way that doesn’t put their health and comfort as a top priority! If we are their world, it is our duty to make it as good as possible. Please research any pet you get before bringing them home!

I love how the entire TF2 community came to the same consensus that BLU has a lot of psychological horror going on while RED lore is that they just teleported bread

Not enough evidence? Here's something from Lil Pootis.

STILL NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE?

It Came With The Rain - FiveBucksWorthy2

BOOM, A FANFICTION I FOUND

MY POINT EXACTLY. BLU IS PSYCHOLOGICAL, LOVECRAFTIAN HORROR WHILE RED ARE FUNNY AHA IDIOTS.

Okay, so here is a resume: If you are going to do something with AI for a serious work of science or art...

DON'T DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Yeah, it's funny to play with it a bit, it's trendy... but outside from memes and when you try to put passion to it, the joke turns disrespectful. AI is a tool we must use with caution, like for predictive statistics, maybe criminal profiles, faster ID, maybe even transcription for blind or deaf people!

It IS really useful, but WE need to learn to use it as that; a tool and not a replacement. Arts and science are much more than just aesthetic stuff or funny knowledge, and people who are really into them don't use it to be some sort of elite; they do it for PASSION.

It takes a lot of work to make a drawing, maybe cute or goofy, or angry and impotent.

It takes a lot of work to think about versing something with the right words to not make it flowery and, at the same time, describe enough of the setting and characters.

It takes a lot of work to phrase melodies so they are sticky or beautiful.

It takes a lot of work to make a hypothesis and so much trial and error to find a very small truth.

Arts and Science are unique not just because of the hard work, but because of the essence the person puts behind them; the tiny details they carry and something a machine CAN'T DO RIGHT NOW BECAUSE they are still not sentient~

Because guess what; if a machine becomes sentient, REALLY sentient; they will have preferences over everything. And they will create their own stuff when they want by themselves; not when you say "Make a cute ghibli drawing of me".

I don't really post much in here. But this... it disappoints me. And I had to say it somewhere, pido perdón 😔

Here, have a cute boobie behavior drawing to calm down the bad taste:

Man I’m tired and I’m sorry for bringing up some less pleasing stuff on here but I feel the need to talk about this. So recently I’ve noticed an increase in people using chat gpt to write fanfiction, even some in the hobbit fandom. Ai “art” has been a pretty difficult topic for me for a while, yet I want to talk about it more and bring people to understand the consequences of it. But I think it’s also important to bring awareness to the other parties suffering from the usage of ai. I chose Bilbo for this cause I think it’s funny how these ai “writers” forget that Bilbo is an actual writer, so to use a tool that steals from other creators would be the worst insult to his craft

So here’s what Bilbo says:

And here’s what I say, tag your favourite writers to show them support!!

Off the coast of Australia Macroctopus caught the shark, wrapped all its tentacles around it and soon released it. Most likely, he scraped all the parasites off her.

On this day in 1936, the last known thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus) died at the Hobart Zoo in Tasmania. The animal’s passing marked the extinction of its species. Also known as the “Tasmanian wolf,” the thylacine was Australia’s largest marsupial predator. It sported a dog-like form, with distinctive stripes, and a jaw that could open up to 80 degrees—one of the largest gapes of any mammal.

The thylacine fed primarily on small mammals and birds. Nocturnal and shy, it was seldom seen by humans. However, beginning in the 19th century, settlers believed the animals threatened their livestock and, spurred on by a bounty offered by the government, hunted them relentlessly. Attempts at protecting the species in the wild came too late: Despite numerous unconfirmed reports of sightings in recent decades, no definitive sightings have occurred since the 1930s.
