I’m talking about the ones that were never raised by a parent but know not to attack their own kind even though they should have never been able to know what they themselves look like and compare it.

What is your instinctive reaction to seeing a baby? How about a beautiful woman? How about a snake?

Reactions can be based on instinct. Smells, sounds, or even visual (sight) can trigger hormones that pacify the animal or make it violent or afraid or whatever.
