Not all animals do. Some animals, such as lions, elephants, wolves and chimpanzees, are very social. For other animals, it just works best for their survival.

Usually, animals live alone due to distribution of food. They will claim a certain amount of hunting territory, or have a specific area they gather from. Allowing other animals into their territory would cut into their supply. Some of it also has to do with mating cycles, and protection of their young.
