Have yall ever wondered how dogs came to africa...ive always wondered this... Aint it weird

[unstoppablefade]

TATI good question. I've also wondered this before and researched it. It was believed that probably one of the first places that dogs were domesticated was in northern Africa, where early humans moving north into Eurasia met small wolves. These small wolves had followed herds of elephants, rhinos, cameloids, and early ungulates such as elk and horses, along with the big cats who preyed upon them, on their migration into Africa.

Actullay a lot of these species originated in North America, but spread across land bridges into Asia and were then apparently pushed into Africa by the succession of ice ages which covered much of Asia several times with glaciers. Long before the first humans, some of the earliest small wolf-like canines to reach Africa and Asia became jackals, who spread back into North America and evolved into coyotes. Larger wolves evolved later, probably in northern Asia. They then spread both into Europe and into North America. Which is why you'll find coyotes, jackals (think Egpytians and their paintings) and wild dogs mostly prevalent in Northeast Africa.

I also love Somali cats (known as the Somali to gaalo ppl). It's such a adorable cat wallahi but our people treat it like shit and feed it left over baaris/baasto on the streets Back when in Somali I domesticated one and kept it as a pet. I own 3 cats right now and 2 before but I have to say I've never seen a cat as intelligent as the Somali cat. It's recognizable by its large bushy tail, large ears, and most have face marks from what I've noticed. I wish I had one.

I never had a pet . Expect maybe for fish when I was about 4 years old.
I honestly don't i think I would ever want own a pet at home. I would not want to consistently be cleaning myself and pick up after their crap.

The only way I would enjoy animals, I think, is if I had a farm. Chickens make eggs, goats make milk etc. I think an animal that produces food or drink may be worth the cleaning:lol:
