me again !!
you might know it as its in the “Lapine” language in Watership down (hence rabbit example!)
the fight / flight we normally think of is so overwhelmed that it shuts down the animal
quote :
tharn. It’s that point where fight or flight is so overwhelmed by danger or chaos or overstimulation that the rabbit just freezes. They lock up, right where they are, almost paralyzed in mind and body, with their only hope being that the hawk will pass over without noticing them.
sounds a bit like a severe panic attack so much adrenalin is running through you – and from the quote above its definately an adaptive reflex … must have been domesticated
