Animal Behavior: Innate and Learned Behaviors

• Animals have innate and learned behaviors that allow for their survival.
• Innate behaviors are behaviors an organism is born with, such as reflexes and instincts.
• Reflexes are automatic responses that do not involve a message to the brain, while instincts are complex patterns of behavior.
• Learned behaviors include imprinting and conditioning, where animals form social attachments or associate stimuli with certain responses.
• Aggression, courtship, and social behavior are other types of behavior that animals exhibit.
• Aggression is a forceful behavior used by animals to protect their young, defend territory, or get food.
• Courtship behavior allows males and females of the same species to recognize each other and prepare to mate.
• Social behavior involves interactions among members of the same species, including communication and organization into a society.
• Animals use pheromones, powerful chemicals, to influence the behavior of other members of their species.
• Cyclic behavior occurs in repeated patterns, such as hibernation or migration.
• Hibernation is a cyclic behavior adaptation for winter survival in which an animal's activity is greatly reduced.
• Migration is an instinctive seasonal movement of animals to find food or to reproduce in better conditions.
