Learned Behavior

if a seal can be taught to swim then it is capable of complex thought processes of which animals are not. instinctively knowing how to swim is much more suited with an animal's low level of intelligence.

thats what i'm taught, but the more i observe and think about animals and their intelligence i have to think that what they do goes beyond simple responses.

but with the seal, my guess is that it 'knows' how to swim.
