Rare Pet Hunting question

I have recently started to hunt rare pets (shaodu cub specifically), but I don't completely understand their mob forms. I've never seen one before (other than the snow hare, which I've only seen once or twice), so I'm curious of how they behave when you encounter one.

Whenever I see the snow hare, it's always running. Do all pets do this, or do some stay around their respawn area?

If they don't stay around their respawn area and run around, how far do they stray from their respawn point?

How aggressive are they? Will they attack you if they cross your path, or only when you attack it? Or will it run away from you no matter what, despite if you attack it or not?

I've done research on the rare pets, and all of my sources say that they respawn on a 12 hour clock (except the snow hare). Although while I was browsing the forums, I read a post that said they respawned every 24 hours. This post was made a year ago, so I was wondering if the respawn rate changed or was it just a typo on the poster's fault?

If the answers to my questions are already in previous posts, please post them here. Thank you in advance.

    All the rares I've encountered (frogling, shaodu cub, tabby plumdrop and snow hare) have been running on a long, narrow ellipse, and have aggroed when they approach closely. None have ran when attacked.

    As for respawn timing... it got messed up I hear with the Descent expansion. It used to be very predictable (if reset had just occurred, or you were present for the previous taming/kill), I'm sure if anyone has learned the new cycle for pets (though I did happen to join a squad which had learned the respawn cycle for world bosses, which had also changed at the same time.)

    So, if the pet has already spawned and nobody caught/killed it, it will run back to its respawn point? (If my idea of an ellipse is correct.

    So its still 12 hours, or has it changed and is now an unknown number of hours?

    It will run around in an ellipse until it is caught or killed, which means it will pass through it's original spawnpoint eventually...
