A behavior is a way of acting
Animals are born with some behaviors that they inherited from their parents.
Examples of inherited behaviors: A fish is born knowing how to swim, and a human baby is born knowing how to cry
Animals learn some behaviors from other animals in their family or community and from their experiences
Examples of learned behaviors: I learned to speak english from listening to my parents, a dog learns to sit when their owner teaches them
