how do animals know what to do when theyre born?

438 views

when turtles are born, they immediately know to crawl towards the seas, and animals who’s parents leave them just grow up on their own. I know that survival instinct helps but like, its baffling that a newborn just knows how to survive on its own without any other help whatsoever.

All living things have instinct that they are born with. Even supposedly “helpless” creatures like human babies. Yes, you need to do a lot to take care of a newborn baby, but a newborn is born with certain instincts that allow it to survive. For instance, if you put a nipple (or a bottle) in a newborn’s mouth, it will instinctively suck on it. If newborns didn’t have that instinct, they wouldn’t be able to eat.
