Introduction: Ethology is the study of animal behavior. Behavior is an animal's response to sensory input, and falls into two basic categories: learned and innate (inherited). Orientation behaviors place the animal in its most favorable environment. In taxis, the animal moves toward or away from a stimulus.

late 13c., from Old French enquerre ask, inquire about (Modern French enquÃ©rir), from Vulgar Latin *inquaerere, from Latin in-into (see in-(2)) + quaerere ask, seek (see query (v.)). Respelled 14c. on Latin model, but half-Latinized enquire still persists.
