animals are born to be afraid of death

[optimistic pessimist]

Dear all,

When you paraphrase, "Animals fear death intinctively", it is fine to say, "animals are born to be afraid of death" or "animals are born to fear death"? If they don't sound natural, how would you paraphrase it without using the words"instinctively" or "instinct"?

Than you!
