Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The animal simply learns by observing and mimicking. Animals are able to learn individual behaviors as well as entire behavioral repertoires through observation. Observational learning can occur with no outside reinforcement.

Detailed explanation-2: -In general, a learned behavior is one that an organism develops as a result of experience. Learned behaviors contrast with innate behaviors, which are genetically hardwired and can be performed without any prior experience or training. Of course, some behaviors have both learned and innate elements.

Detailed explanation-3: -Learned behavior is behavior that occurs only after experience or practice. Methods of learning include habituation, observational learning, conditioning, play, and insight learning.
