Why do deer run so fast when a cheetah is after them? And why do rabbits run really fast if they see a fox and why does a fox run for it and hide when The Hunt hounds are baying? < Man is the only animal aware of his existence and, thus, knows he is going to die.

No other animal suffers from existential dichotomy.

They are acutely aware of their mortality and that being dinner would NOT be a good idea. They probably don't have a good sense of earth's orbital dynamics to the extent that they understand how many times around the sun it will take before they are really not going to be fast enough to escape their predators, but that's just arithmetic. Plenty of people can barely count, yet know that they will get old one of these days. Even if they can count, they might have lost count and not know how old they are.
