Are the following behaviours innate or learned?

Question

Are the following behaviours innate or learned?

-baboon grooming

-eagle with carcass

-spider weaving web

-kangaroo with joey

-two lions

-peacock

Answer 1

"Learned" implies "taught." I don't think baboon grooming is a tradition that is passed down from mother to daughter.

Answer 2

I don't get some of your examples like "two lions" or "peacock". However, everything else is innate. These creatures will do this without being taught.

Answer 3

spider weaving web is innate... i know that much

Answer 4

I would say they're all innate as none of these behaviours are taught t these species. But I'm confused by a few of them.

Even if you remove a baboon from it's mother it will attempt to groom loved ones on it's own as a sign of affection, spider weave webs to catch food,

Still I am not sure what you mean by eagle with carcass...an eagle is a predatory bird and eats meat, so if that's what you mean then yes it's innate.

Kangaroo with Joey...if you mean raising it in it's pouch than again, that's innate as it's a part of kangaroo development to grow inside the pouch where it's safe and has access to it's mothers breast for food.

Two lions...you lost me. What about two lions?

Peacock...? If you mean the feather spread than yes again that's innate as it's a matter of sexuality and reproduction.  

Answer 5

All are behaviors that are a interaction between innate predispositions and environmental cues - thus they each have both an innate and learned component.
