(forgive me for citing Yuckipedia):

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Instinct is the inherent disposition of a living organism toward a particular behavior. The fixed action patterns are unlearned and inherited. The stimuli can be variable due to imprinting in a sensitive period or also genetically fixed.
