Some animals can't be domesticated (Snakes, in particular, are basically untrainable for the most part). Otherwise, I don't know the timelines well enough to say. It takes like thousands of years of breeding and training to get the domesticated animals we have today. I don't know when Zebras arrived in Africa or if they migrated from somewhere else. <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:892986278] in Why could ...

It's theoretically possible. We (the human race) are currently domesticating buffalo. We save a lot of time by crossbreeding them with other bovine that we've domesticated already.

Shadowplay 12/28/17 1:01:52 AM #22:	glitteringfairy posted... This is interesting. Does anybody have reading material about trying to domestic zebras. Guns, Germs, and Steel talks about it extensively and lays out the criteria for a large mammal to be domesticated. Remember of course that domestication is selective breeding, not simply taming an animal. Basically, very few animals meet the strict criteria for domestication. The animal's temperament has a lot to do with it. The three zebra species (though most of the time people are talking about the plains zebra) naturally have a much more wild and unruly temperament than the wild horse or African wild ass (wild ancestor of domestic donkeys). --- I make a topic in Final Fantasy 12 to ask if Tifa!
