"Instinct"

There are differences between instinct and knowledge. Knowledge is the state of  knowing something . An instinct is a tendency of doing something.  In Leningen versus the ants there was a lot of knowledge versus instinct,like for example the ants had the knowledge have trying to figure out a way to cross,but Leningen instinctively knew what their next move might be. And because of this Leningen was able to defeat and destroy the ants before they can destroy him and his plantation.
