Why are certain animals and insects docile towards humans like tarantulas, banana ball pythons and dolphins? Some may be due to selective breeding or captivity but how much of a creatures genetic makeup determines whether or not it will eat my face?
In: Biology
Humans are big animals. 5-6 feet tall, 100-200 pounds – and sometimes even larger.
