The fact that sea turtles automatically move toward the ocean once hatched is an example of a(n) behavior.
a. unusual
b. practiced
c. learned
d. innate

The correct answer would be D. Innate. Also known as instinctive behavior, an innate behavior is when something gives natural knowledge without learning or thinking about it. It is a naturally occurring behavior present to any human or any animal which helps them to survive. Birds learn to fly without being taught, and similarly, turtles immediately crawl and go to oceans when hatched. A human baby reaches for his mother’s breast to suckle milk. Instinct is also used to sense danger and can save lives.
