Detailed explanation-1: -Pairs may show courtship behaviors such as grooming each other, playing and wrestling, chasing each other or bumping and hip pushing each other. They will also sniff and lick each other, and a female may even position herself in front of her partner to tell him she’s ready.

Detailed explanation-2: -Innate behavior comes from an animal’s heredity. An animal’s instincts are examples of its innate behavior. For example, migrating birds use innate behavior to know when to begin their migration and the route that they should follow.

Detailed explanation-3: -Courtship behaviours also allow organisms to approach one another without aggression or invasion of their personal space. Sometimes the outcome of courtship behaviour is the formation of a pair bond. This bond results in a better reproductive success, due to the increased survival probability of the offspring.

Detailed explanation-4: -Both territorial behavior and courtship behavior are competitive behavior. In territorial behavior, animal occupies territory and defend it, protecting access to resources such as food and possible mates. In courtship behavior, the animal tries to attract a mate and often several males may compete for a single female.
