Instincts and LearningHave you ever watched in disbelief as a
spider spins an amazing web? How does the spider know how to do that? Why does a human baby utter a cry when it wants something? Why are cats tempted to chase mice, and why do cats play with their prey after they have pounced? These are biological instincts, behaviors that animals and people are born with.
Learned behavior is opposite of instinct. Has a pet ever hastened to greet you, showing joy at your presence? When a pet has endeared itself to a person, it has learned to be lovable. The animal has learned to show affection in return for something, such as food. It’s a pleasing arrangement, for both the person and the pet.
