I feel like bears is the most obvious answer. In this scenario it would have started thousands of years ago. We’d have dozens/hundreds of breeds with different shapes,sizes and characteristics. What do you think would be the most interesting/cool?

    I looked into this a while back and it seems that keeping one as a pet is a full day job.

      Right. They are not yet domesticated to the level of companion animals and trying to keep one as a pet now is a bad idea.

        Yeah, my grandfather raised one when I was a kid. It was fine until it was grown, then it got bitey and he turned I loose on his property.
