Why do people and animals yell when they’re in pain?
In: Biology
It draws attention.
For mammals, it might attract the attention of our family/social unit, who might come to our aid.
For every creature, it stands a chance of frightening the creature that is hurting/eating us, enough to drop us and run.
It also stands a chance of attracting the attention of more predators who will quarrel, giving a chance for escape.
