Today we shall compare and contrast two species’ methods of coping with stressful situations. Firstly, the human in a lecture theatre:
The subject expressed her frustrations with 7 unhappy or angry faces, a snarling wolf and a request for the lecturer in question to proceed more efficiently.
Second species in question, is Oryctolagus cuniculus of the lagomorph family – the European rabbit. Here the subject has chosen to face the day ahead by eating breakfast in bed.
It was found that of these two species the rabbit had a far better day, despite the human subject gaining brief amusment from the random comments scrawled on her lecture notes.
