Why are animals soft?
In: Biology
My dog is very soft, but his breed was domesticated and probably bred for softness. That’s probably not the case with wild animals – I once had a chance to pet a bear cub that was captured in our summer camp, sedated to be tagged and then put back in the wild. I touched it when it was out of it, and it wasn’t really soft. Sure, compared to concrete it was soft, it is still a living organism that doesn’t have a shell, but it was so tough, it’s for felt like nails.
