Behavior Core

We finished our last big exam on Monday this week (Physiology is over!!), and started Behavior Core. Behavior is normally spread out over the semester, but because our professor was out on maternity leave, it got squished into a single week of five 8-to-4 days. It's a little hard paying attention to the same subject for that long, but at least behavior is really interesting. Today we talked about canine aggressive behavior towards humans and towards other animals, which was scary and sad. The saddest part was talking about kids who get bitten. After looking at gruesome pictures of dog bites and statistics of how often people get bitten by dogs, our professor thankfully offset it with this video:



Tomorrow we're talking about canine anxiety problems, which I'm definitely interested in (I think we could use Winnie as a case study...). I will post what I learn here!
