The difference between instinctive and learned behavior is that instinctive means when an animal know how to do something at birth. Learned behavior is when an animal has to be taught to do something.
An example of an instinctive behavior is when marsupials are born they go into their mother's pouches. This is what the wombat pictured below knows to do.
The second instinctive behavior is that whales swim to the surface when they are born so that they can breathe air.
An example of a learned behavior is teaching people to rollerblade.
For question #2, I'm listing everything I eat for 2 days and then I will determine if I am an herbivore, carnivore or omnivore. But, actually I already know, because I'm a vegetarian, which means I'm an herbivore...although I do eat dairy products sometimes, so I'm a sometime omnivore but NEVER a carnivore!!
3) Make a list of animals and categorize them according to their eating habits as herbivores, omnivores or carnivores. Please include yourself on this list
