A unique experiment investigates what happens to wolf cub's wild nature if they are raised in a domestic environment. Will nature or nurture win out? Biology - Cells And DNA - Learning Points. Wolves and dogs are 99.8% genetically identical, but is it the genetic differences that affect their behaviour or environmental factors? A group of Hungarian researchers raised wolf cubs in a home environment to see if they could develop traits similar to a dog. Unlike dogs, wolf cubs did not respond to training or discipline. A nurturing, domestic environment had little impact on the wolves' development. A Twig Context Film. Reinforce and extend the learning required by the curriculum.
