Domesticated fox becoming latest pet craze in Russia

A new kind of pet is gaining popularity in Russia - the domesticated fox. The animals are being bred at a research institute in Siberia. Although these foxes are human-friendly, they've still got many wild habits.

Martyn is a Russian Silver Fox who has never lived in the wild and whose home is a three-bedroom Moscow flat. He's domesticasted but still has some wild habits, like hiding and digging holes.

While it took centuries to turn a wild dog into a pet, scientists here succeeded with foxes in 50 years of selective breeding. LINK, Via: Youtube
