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.

______________ allows an organism to survive better in its environment
- Such changes occur in the organisms that helps them to survive better in the environment. This is called adaptation.
- These changes occur at genetic level and pass on to the next generation.
- These adaptations can be structural, behavioral or physiological.
- For example, most of the animals found in desert have a thick dermis layer on their body that assure minimum water loss.

Animals migrate because of:
- Animals migrate according to the season.
- The conditions of the place in a season becomes unfavorable.
- The animals can't survive or breed in such conditions, so they move to the other place. The distance of the travel can be around 25 miles.
- They migrate because of high or very low temperature conditions or unavailability of food.
- Bar headed geese migrate from Himalaya to south Asia in winter season.
- They travel 1000 miles.
- The condition of this place when becomes unfavorable they again move to the Himalayas.
