"In an alternate universe, maybe we'd have smallish bears as trusted companions :-)"
Some people have even in this universe, but not so many, because they are not easy to handle. And back then having pets, was not so much a hobby - but the dogs were useful for survival. (guarding and hunting)
- MrsPeaches 5y agoIf you haven’t already seen it, I would highly recommend the film Grizzly Man about someone who lived with bears. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0427312/ https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0427312/
- asxd 5y agoI would imagine wolves weren't to easy domesticate either
- hutzlibu 5y agoNot easy, but much more easy, because wolves are pack animals who accept a leader, which can be a human. Bears not so much and therefore much harder to control. Same with cats, which is why they have been kept around to hunt the mice and rats - but only small cats. Also I believe the first dogs did not came from wolves, but other wild dog breeds.
