they would have greater worries

Maybe.

You do see animals give up if their stuck in mud or in the jaws of a lion. When fishing, and you've got one hooked, they may "give up" for a while, then fight again. I assumed they were tired. Seems as though it could be the same mechanism.

Looks like it. They give up for the moment and try again after they recover.
