What are Domestic Animals? Dogs, cats, cattle, and horses are some of the best-known examples of animals that can be pets. Tamed animals are generally grouped together and referred to as domestic animals. But what are domestic animals? Biologically, domestic animals refer to any types of animals that have been genetically modified through many generations of selective breeding, in order to specially adapt them to live with humans. There are three major reasons why different species of wild animals were domesticated by humans. • Companionship – Dogs, for example, are actually a domesticated form of wild wolves that were domesticated as early as 10,000 years ago for the purpose of companionship. • Food – Other animals, such as cattle and chicken, were domesticated to provide food (both as meat and through products, such as eggs and dairy). • Labor – The third major category of domesticated animals was domesticated to perform laborious work, e.g., transporting goods and pulling carts. These are more common known as beasts of burden, and they include animals associated with hard work, such as horses, oxen, and camels. All domestic animals, regardless of purpose, share certain common characteristics. For example, they must all be easy to tame, in order to make them safe to live with and to obey commands. This was achieved by selectively breeding only the easiest to tame members of the species to produce offspring of a similar nature. Domestic animals commonly share certai...

Domesticated or domestic animals are animals that are bred to serve varying purposes of humans. Domesticated animals differ from wild animals in that they are born, raised, conditioned, and reproduced to work with, respond to, or serve humans in one form or another. Farm animals are a type of domesticated animal that serve purposes in the form of agriculture. They may be raised and used for their meat (such as chicken or pigs), milk (such as from cows or sheep), or labor (such as horses, cattle, or donkeys). Types of Domestic Animals Domesticated animals are generally classified into two types: those that serve as farm animals (or livestock, animals raised for making commodities), or those that serve as pets. Cattle, sheep, pigs, and chickens are considered farm animals, while cats and dogs are considered pets. There may be some overlap in these categories. For example, a dog may be considered a pet, but it can also be (colloquially) considered a farm animal if used as a shepherding dog.

AdstockRF The domestication of wild animals, beginning with the dog, heavily influenced human evolution. These creatures, and the protection, sustenance, clothing, and labor they supplied, were key factors that allowed our nomadic ancestors to form permanent settlements. Though to many urbanites livestock are as distant a part of reality as country music, without them, humans would never have been able to form cities at all. Take a look at the organisms that gave rise to some of our present animal companions. • Gray wolf © Jeff Lepore/Photo Researchers The gray wolf ( Canis lupus) is thought by most scientists to have given rise to the domestic dog, a key event in the evolution of our species that may have occurred as early as 32,000 years ago and certainly by 14,000 years ago. Some scientists, however, have posited, due to a number of morphological differences between dogs and wolves, that dogs may actually be descended from an extinct wild ancestor that likely resembled contemporary pariah dogs and dingoes. Whatever its origins, the dog was the first animal to be domesticated by early humans. • Domestic dog © Photos.com/Jupiterimages Millenia of puppy love have generated more than 400 breeds of domestic dog ( Canis lupus familiaris), ranging from the wolfish, robust Siberian husky to the shrieking, guinea-pig adjacent chihuahua. Research on the origin of dogs, and on their unique, sympatric relationships with humans, is ongoing. Now if someone would only figure out why L...
