Instinct is basically behaviours that are meant to ensure the survival of animals and humans for that matter. Examples include eating, breathing etc If we as humans had to learn to breath we would be dead by now. Other instinctual behaviours are improved by learning. An example of this is hunting, cats big or small are instinct hunters therefore from a early age they express this behaviour, however through trial and error and experience they learn to improve this skill becoming great hunters. Another example of this can be seen in mating rituals, commonly seen in crane species, however if you have a captive bred population this can meet barriers. These barriers are not the behaviour itself, by this i mean they will instinctively express these mating dances however the learning comes into it when they start using these mating dances on humans since they don't know any difference.
