Animal Behavior

While I don't always agree with what Dr. Beaver has to say, I've learned a lot in this class.

For example, there are 10-15 kinds of aggression. All of them need to be dealt with in different ways and some of them are easier to treat than others. For example, dominance aggression is usually easier to deal with than prey aggression. Prey aggression has its own internal reward (getting to chase/catch the animal playing prey item!)

Today, we talked about ADHD, which is over-diagnosed in humans and under-diagnosed in animals.
