If you ever notice, humans, apes and many creatures when they are getting ready to fight begin to sway a bit. I think it's part of the fight or flight thing built into them and us. The one I saw back in the nineties, might have been swaying but wasn't standing still, I can't really recall a noticeable sway, but movement there was.

It’s called “Timbering” and it is a pre-attack signal. Human beings do it before they get ready to fight. It’s a “Fight or Flight” natural reaction that is done by mammals. It’s an autonomous reaction to a perceived threat.

It’s an autonomous reaction to a perceived threat. Crazy question is this behavior mainly found in primates or would such behavior also be found in say mammalian quadrupeds (eg hyena, canid) as well? I am not finding much using "timbering" as one of the key words. Edit: Only been able to find timbering in relation to some LEO safety material

Personally, I've never heard the term before but that only means I haven't heard it.
I'm familiar with it as behavior, I just have never heard that term before.
