This isn't a fox - it's a dragon.

这可不是狐狸 这是条恶龙

It's allowed researchers to make unique comparisons

研究者对温顺与侵略的狐狸

between tame and aggressive foxes.

进行了对比和参照

Translation: we did an experiment with cross-fostering

我们做了一个交换养育的实验

where we gave tame cubs to aggressive mothers.

把温顺的狐狸交由好斗的狐狸母亲抚养

And vice versa. We found out that the

反之亦然 我们发现母亲的行为

mother's behaviour does not influence that of the cub.

并不会对幼崽的行为有任何影响

This cub was brought up by a tame mother.

It showed something remarkable, that the difference

很明显 这说明

between tame and aggressive foxes is largely in their genes.

We even took the experiment one stage

我们甚至做了进一步的试验

further and transplanted embryos

我们对其进行了胚胎转移的实验

from aggressive mothers into tame mothers,

把好斗母亲的胚胎值入到那些温顺的母亲里

But the results were the same.

但是结果是同样的

It proved that you can't change the gene of aggressiveness

这证明了你无法改变好斗的基因

and it will be kept and preserved for the next generation.

Geneticists have already located

several genetic regions responsible for tameness.
