Escape reaction
Escape reaction (startle reaction ) is a term used in behavior physiology to describe the details of the flight of attacked animals (predator/prey relationship ).
Escape reaction: Krill can evade predators by very fast backward swimming (lobstering), flipping its telson. They reach speeds of over 60 cm per second. The trigger time to optical stimulus is in spite of the low temperatures only 55 milliseconds.
