The Animals We’ve Made

And I mean that literally!

By Gabriel B. ShamesPublished 7 months ago 1 min read
How many of these evolved naturally?

Animals were not

Always this way. They used to

Look quite different.

A type of wolf saw

The food we left and followed.

Staying, became dogs.

Wild boars in China,

Tempted by our settlements,

Stayed for easy life.

Buffalo roamed free.

We bred them into new form.

How now for the cows?

We changed the species;

Our domination reshaped them.

We’re now connected.
