Science Lounge: Domestic Bliss

Sweet Fluffy and playful Fido may have been artfully bred, or may have lived life more on the wild side. Probe into pet pedigree and our relationship to all things wild, with wolves, chickens, service animals, and more at this petting zoo of domestic proportion. Sip a beverage at the bar and get into the genetics of adaptation, but leave Fluffy and Fido at home.
