Woah, super interesting study between Sharks and Seals! It’s not stress that kills us, it’s our reaction to it!

What do sharks, seals and stress have in common…other than starting with the letter “s”? A new study found that seals exhibited high-stress responses in situations where the risk of getting attacked by a great white shark was high and uncontrollable.
