Animal Behavior for Kids | Learn about innate behavior, learned behavior and more!

In this video about animal behavior we will learn all about the different kinds of behavior including, innate behaviors, reflex behaviors, learned behaviors, imprinting and more! Birds build nests. Dogs sit roll over, chase sticks, and may do other tricks. Spiders build intricate webs. People blink, read books, talk to each other. Bees do special dances. What does each of the actions have in common? You are correct if you said they are behaviors.

A behavior is a way in which an animal or person acts in response to a situation or stimulus. Behaviors are the ways animals interact with other animals or with their environment. However, not all behaviors are attained in the same manner. For example, you had to learn how to read, but you did not learn how to blink. A dog was taught to sit up or roll over, but a dog did not learn how to dig a hole in the ground. Some behaviors animals may be learned, and other behaviors are a part of the animal at birth, and they do not need to learn them. They are born with already knowing how to
perform certain behaviors. You had to learn how to talk, read, and write. Your parents or teachers have taught you to do things, or you may have learned on your own, like playing a favorite game. Other behaviors, like blinking and grasping, are called reflexes; you were born with those behaviors.
The two types of behaviors are called innate behaviors and learned behaviors and in this video we will learn all about these different kinds of animal behaviors.
