Two red squirrel mums go to the White Spruce Spa, one complains about her anxious, stressed-out pups while the other mum gloats that her squirrel pups are happy, calm and healthy. Describe what neural (1 mark) and hormonal (1 mark) characteristics you would expect in these two families (pups only) and design a potential experiment to test and confirm the relationship between these neural/hormonal characteristics and anxiety behaviour (3 marks).
