In our world animals avoid getting hurt because wounds heal slowly and infection is a danger with every wound. They prance, growl and grandstand with the goal of avoiding a bloody confrontation. Those creatures that were too aggressive died off long ago. They may have killed thier foe, but their wounds claimed them later.In a D&D world, this is not the case, creatures heal very fast. In a D&D world the animal that fought until it was nearly unconscious and killed it’s prey /rival, does not die of infection form it’s open wounds, but rather will have all it’s wounds healed in just a few days. This will produce creatures that do not give warning responses, they just charge if the numbers or size is on their size.Hell, Unless the DM chooses to limit poisonous creatures to a set amount of poison, no venomous serpent should ever sit there with it's hood open. There is little reason not to strike then leave.BTW  Wild Empathy (Ex)A druid can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person.A rushed Diplomacy check can be made as a full-round action, but you take a -10 penalty on the check.</blockquote>
