It does not want to be killed, and probably eaten, by the animal that attacked it, so it will either fight or run away. It's life is at stake. It's trying to defend itself in the best way possible. It's a life or death struggle.

Why would an animal run away from other animal or fight when it attacked?

If the animal runs away it is usually because it is submissive or insecure. But if it stands up to the other animal, it is sure of it's power and strength. And a dominant animal. My dog for example is very submissive and would cower down, roll over on her back, or run away. Hope this helps! =D
