Innate behaviors are behaviors that animals exhibit that they did not learn.

For example, baby monkeys and apes (including humans) will grasp things with their feet and/or hands. Nobody has to teach them to do this, they are just born knowing how to do it. Another example is hunting behavior in cats -- while sophisticated hunting skills are learned over time, basic hunting behaviors like stalking and pouncing are innate to cats, cats will do them automatically from the time they are kittens without having to be taught.
