Question
Which of the following is not an innate behaviour?
- A spider spinning its web
- A caterpillar making its cocoon
- A cheetah hunting
- A dolphin leaping from the water
Hint:
Young cheetahs have the instinct to hunt, but at first do not know how to sneak up on their prey. They learn how to do that by watching their mother when she hunts. Wolves have the instinct to hunt but learn to hunt in groups. All plant behavior is inherited
The correct answer is: A cheetah hunting
Cheetahs are considered “crepuscular” hunters, meaning they hunt at dawn and dusk. They most often hunt between 6:00 and 10:00 in the morning, and 16:00 and 18:00 in the evening.
