Imprinting

The video tutorial explains imprinting, a learned behavior where animals form social attachments during a critical period after birth or hatching. This behavior is crucial for survival, as it helps animals learn essential skills like recognizing their home, finding food, and swimming. Filial imprinting, a type of imprinting, is highlighted, where young birds attach to the first moving object they see, usually their mother. This attachment aids in learning species-specific behaviors. The video concludes by emphasizing the importance of imprinting for species survival.
