Solution
Animals that are tamed by people are different from wild animals.
This is because people domesticate animals that are not disposed to diseases.
They domesticate those animals that are calm and timid and are chosen for reproduction.
Consequently, domesticated animals are differentiated from wild animals.
For instance, the horns and teeth of wild animals are always larger than those of domesticated animals.
