Congenital behavior (innate behavior) Is determined by the genetic material of animals, is a genetic characteristic of this species, without acquired learning, a kind of innate capacity, this capacity under appropriate conditions, the neural regulation or hormonal regulation can be demonstrated . Such as the loss of their young bitch, it's feeding instincts of future generations do not disappear, as will no mother cat give caress their offspring, lactation; lost penguin eggs, penguin eggs will hatch as pebbles and so on. In addition to special inherited this behavior, it also, and some physical maturation, such as the pituitary secretion of prolactin and so on. Animals born by the genetic material of animals determined by the behavior, known as congenital behavior (innate behavior). Congenital behavior is a kind of instinctive behavior of animals is not lost. Learning behavior of congenital behavior than poor adaptation to the environment. Congenital behavior, by definition, is born with an instinct, as compared with the day after sex, it is even worse for the environment, adaptation, behavior is acquired through learning in the appropriate environment and _set_ up a reflex that can Biological better adapt to the environment.
