This isn't exactly news, but still really cool and a great example of the role genes (and genes alone) have in determining behavior. These animals were domesticated solely using selective breeding, no human interaction necessary. This, as well as a few others, are the trademark experiments I point people to when they say "it's about how you raise them". It's a good motto in theory, but it just doesn't hold up to the evidence.

Still, I think it's really cool. Many people don't know the difference between imprinting and domestication of animals.
