One of the many interesting things about animals, both wild and domestic is that, at some point in the distant past, all of them were wild. Many of those domesticated today show a prominent genetic streak of a wild ancestry. Surely your poodle has a wild ancestor whoโs half as friendly.
Animals have existed hundreds of millions of years before humans. In fact, the earth belongs more to them than it does to us. They had all the genetic right to kick human asses and make us their slaves. But they didnโt. Then we came along and you know how that went.
However. There is good news. Not all animals budged. Some didnโt bother to give half a flying fluck to human manipulation and continued to remain wild. So, hereโs a virtual tribute to all those animals that stayed true to themselves despite the condescending actions of humans.

If youโre wondering why animals like ๐ Horses arenโt on the list, itโs because such species were successfully and completely domesticated and used by us, humans!
Weโve done so much and still do everything in our power to control life on earth including the wild. But, weโre SO glad that it ends at some point with wild animals, because we could try but we cannot fully overpower nature. So, there is some hope in the wild. But just not enough.
