It would depend on the animal. In animals such as cows or horses, yes; the offspring are able to walk (and have the leg strength to walk) almost immediately after being born. In humans, however, it's not as simple as that. Babies do not have the muscle capacity to walk when they are born; however, they have exhibited what has been called the "stepping reflex." Also, in the case study with the "wild child" (a boy raised by wolves in the wild), the child could walk, although not perfectly. Whether or not walking is innate in humans is still being questioned by researchers; however, it would be unethical to take a child and put it in isolation to see whether or not (for sure) walking is an innate behavior.
