To be fair, animals who don't try to avoid drowning, are more likely to drown before being able to reproduce. Probably even by trying to drink water or wash their face, since both mouth and nose usually lead to lungs (I bet there exists some weird animal where that's not the case). Also, humans don't instinctively understand that fire can be dangerous, so there's that.
