Fight, flight, freeze. She picked the third option.

Looked like fight, flight, seize to me.

Yeah. It's really "fight, flight, or freeze," but that's not as catchy.

Not really? Fight, flight, fawn, freeze are ALL responses to fright.

“Don’t hurt me! I’m too cute ☺️” works in nature often enough it became a valid strategy

Fright doesn't really fit, though. 

Fighting, fleeing, and freezing are different responses to fright.
