Birds building nests, spiders spinning a web, caterpillars making a cocoon, ducks swimming above water, fish migrating, and dolphins leaping from the water are all examples of instinctual behaviors. Species aren't taught them, they are born with knowing how to do these tasks easily, hence it being called an instinctive behavior.

The benefits of social behaviors increase survival and reproductive/birth rates in groups of species. As shown in the image below, the meerkat's social behavior is similar to those of rats. They desire physical contact and this displays nature versus nurture as well.

The way in which an animal behaves is a behavioral adaptation. Behaviors that animals are born knowing are called instincts. For example, an animal fleeing from a predator is an instinct. Natural selection and adaptations are also one and the same because adaptations sprout from evolution and natural selection, which happens are random in order to hopefully induce a survival advantage.

Reflexes within frogs, for example, are stimulated in certain circumstances such as they're croak and long tongues for catching prey. This is a characteristic of instinct being displayed because just like how we are born knowing how to swallow, frogs are born knowing how to catch their prey quickly. They do this by hopping into the air, if needed, and shooting out their sticky tongue to "glue" their prey into it's mouth.

Innate behavior is also known as Instinctive behavior. These behaviors are passed down by generation without having to be taught to the offspring. The instinct is performed correctly the first time the species tries it.
