It seems like many mammals even those that would be considered exotic or dangerous seem to enjoy being petted by humans under the right circumstances. Why did so many mammals evolve to enjoy this?
In: Biology
Most mammals are social creatures and rely on being near others for warmth and safety. When they either don’t learn to be afraid of humans OR are domesticated and live with humans, humans fulfill this biological desire of being close to another warm blooded creature.
