Fight-or-Flight ReactionThe fight-or-flight reaction can be triggered in animals when they encounter members of another species. It also comes into play when animals are defending their social standing within their own species and when they are challenging the social status of another animal in their group. When animal's social position is challenged, the fight-or-flight reaction is unleashed and the two animals in question fight until one or the other submits or runs away. Once an animal submits to another, it "knows its place" and doesn't keep going though the same reaction every time it is challenged. It readily submits. (p. 254) The fight-or-flight reaction helps the animal to find its "territory." Once it has established its territory, its time is spent reacting to the less life threatening stressors such as hunger, temperature, and sex drive, many of which in humans can be considered a source of pleasure.
