Even if captive bred or domesticated, animals will still retain wild characteristics. eg- House cats that are well fed and cared for will still bring you back a present, ..a freshly caught mouse,vole, bird, or a nice expensive koi carp from next doors garden!! BP's curl into a ball as a defense, even though they have all been raised in different environments, countries etc, yet they still exhibit the same defense behavour.
