Detailed explanation-1: -A learned behavior is something that you are taught or have learned to do. We do learn somethings from our parents but other things such as skateboarding we might learn by ourselves. Some examples are, playing an instrument, playing sports, style, cooking.

Detailed explanation-2: -For example, migrating birds use innate behavior to know when to begin their migration and the route that they should follow. Learned behavior comes from watching other animals and from life experiences. By watching their mother, baby ducks learn how to avoid danger and to know what is good to eat.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of innate behavior include: reflexes, taxis and kinesis, fixed action patterns and stereotypy, and circadian rhythms. Reflexes are automatic, rapid responses to a stimulus. Common reflexes include the knee jerk reflex, a newborn sucking reflex, and a cat arching when scratched.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sea turtles, newly hatched on a beach, will instinctively move toward the ocean. A marsupial climbs into its mother’s pouch upon being born. Other examples include animal fighting, animal courtship behaviour, internal escape functions, and the building of nests.
