What are innate behaviors?

@Phebe I answered this one a while ago for some one. Innate behaviors would be things like instincts. Again, a human example is the suckling instinct in newborns. Human newborns will immediately turn towards anything that touches their cheek and attempt to suck on it. This instinct is critical in breast feeding; if new borns do not do this than something is very wrong. Non-humans examples include things like many herbivores attempted to stand as soon as possible, baby whales not breathing underwater, sea turtles/salmon returning beach/stream they were born in. I could go on for quite a bit more.
