I wonder

if predators have all the same responses to traumatic stress that prey animals do.  Is there a “lion in the headlights” look? Or are they wired differently?  The interesting evolutionary thing about humans is that we have been both prey and predator.  We existed somewhere in the middle of the food chain for a long time, and still do, with some 200 people killed by lions in Africa every year, some number killed by tigers in India, Bangladesh and elsewhere, etc.

Is there a biological/physiological/neurological adaptation which deals with “prey animal” trauma, which is to say incompleted fight or flight responses, by adapting the methods and instincts of predators?

Interesting thought, at least to me.  This is a neurological question, and with regard to specific animals, an empirically testable idea.

Edit: I have the Tibetan Four Dignities on the walls of my room.  All four are carnivores: a tiger, a snow lion, a dragon, and a giant bird, the Garuda, with a snake in its mouth.  The centerpiece of all of them, though, is the Windhorse.  It alone is not a carnivore, and it alone contains both light and motion intrinsically in its image.
