what do animals do when they are afraid?
user
when animals are afraid, they typically try to flee or hide to avoid the perceived threat. they may also make defensive postures, such as fluffing up their fur, freezing in place, or hissing/growling. in some cases, they may also resort to aggression in order to protect themselves.
