- Animal domestication is when you
take care of the animals to your advantage.
- Humans use them for food, milk,
and clothing such as leather garments.
- Goats and sheep were the first
animals to be domesticated with the plow invention.
- Pigs and cows are second animals
to be domesticated.
- Pigs aren't very useful in
domestication because they can't provide clothing and they need to eat a
lot of food.
- Large plant eating animals are the
best for domestication.
- Elephants re tricky because they
need to be fed a lot, stay with their family, and it takes 15 years until
an elephant can have children.

are domesticated; This includes goats, sheep, pigs, cows, horses, donkeys,
Bactrian camels, Arabian camels, water buffalo, llamas, reindeer, yaks,
mithans, and Bali cattle.

Guinea.
