The wet dog shake behavior (abbreviated to WDS) or sometimes called “whole body shake” is a part of the behavior repertoire of most mammalian species. The WDS behavior is a paroxysmic or quivering shudder of the trunk (body) up to the head of the mammal. The behavior is called after the behavior of a dog when it shudders to get rid of water on its fur. Picture by the wonderful @chrisphilippo ⭐️
