Both species are the same animal. FOOM fears the explosion; FOMO fears the bench. The behavior is identical — fear, facing opposite directions — catalogued here under two genera only because the field has only ever recorded two.
A third behavior has been observed, though rarely. It looks like hope, and it moves in groups. takeofftogether.org
