Taming refers to the process of accustoming a wild or untamed animal to the presence of humans, often by reducing its natural fear and aggression. This process can involve various techniques like consistent positive reinforcement, training, socialization, and gradual desensitization. Taming is different from domestication, which is a long-term process affecting a species over many generations. Taming generally focuses on individual animals and aims to make them safe for human interaction and handling. Commonly tamed animals include pets, livestock, and even some wild species used in entertainment or scientific research.
