Learned behaviors are similar toinstincts in that they are things that an animal needs in order to survive. ... However, learned behaviors are just that; animals need to learn them.Learned behaviors are different frominstincts because an animal must be taught something specific in a certain situation.

Instincts are something you do without thinking, it’s a reaction to a feeling or event. Learned behaviors on the other hand are the things you learn to do and practice.
