If he's not going overboard in that 2 second part, that's definately a feeding response bite, not a defensive bite. Defensive bites only last for a split second. There IS no holding on in a defensive BP bite..... but then again...

So... I would say THAT means its a defensive strike... and not really a bite involved.

Just love playing devil's advocate!
