The pattern of behavior with which an animal is born
Real World Example
Imagine trying to assemble a piece of flat-pack furniture without any instructions, relying solely on intuition. This situation is similar to how animals rely on instinct, as they are born with an innate "instruction manual" that guides their behavior without needing to learn it from scratch. Just as your intuition helps you piece together the furniture by recognizing patterns and fitting parts together, an animal's instinct equips it with pre-programmed behaviors to help it navigate the world from birth.
