You don't have to go that far, they've documented full breeches off the coast of California as well... I suspect if they tried on the Atlantic coast where there are seal colonies, they could get them to do it there as well.

For just one member of PETA a day, you can help keep the Great White Sea Kittens fed. So please, won't you donate today?

Laughs.. there are actually some easy examples to prove it that don't require having to learn to be part of a pack while they tear your house apart when you aren't looking...
One of the easy examples is that domestic dogs have developed enzymes that allow them to break down different starchs than wolves can. For example if you feed a standard pelleted dog food to wolves (regardless of brand), you will cause massive diarrhea in the wolves. The reason is because wolves can't break down some of the starches that are combined in the pellets. This is because dogs have a long history of scavenging human food and feeding on cooked and modified starches (it wasn't until close to the turn of the century that people even began using premade dog foods... until that time, the dog got left over scraps or scraps baked into a loaf with extra bread dough. Dry dog foods are a relatively recent phenomena....
