Detailed explanation-1: -Learning To Adapt Most other kinds of adaptations can be inherited, but behavioral adaptations are learned in the majority of cases. An example we can use to illustrate better this is the differences between animals that are living in the wild and those that live with humans.
Detailed explanation-2: -Behavioral adaptations can be either instinctual or learned.
Detailed explanation-3: -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. Learned behavior comes from watching other animals and from life experiences.
Detailed explanation-4: -Innate behaviors do not have to be learned or practiced. They are also called instinctive behaviors. An instinct is the ability of an animal to perform a behavior the first time it is exposed to the proper stimulus. For example, a dog will drool the first time-and every time-it is exposed to food.
