Primates do display acquired learning. Like the knowledge to hunt ants with sticks. A non innate ability that requires planning and is passed along to members of the same social group.

It has been reported that some eagles and hawks spread fire to drive out prey from dense vegetation. Whether that is learned behavior and planning for the future, a previously undiscovered innate behavior, or just a myth, depends on results of further research.

Whales wearing salmon hats is a story that, if happens to be true, would also be a non-innate behavior, whose purpose we don't know, that could point to something close to what you described.

Humans are different, I cannot disagree.

My play was to challenge our assumptions of what that perceived distance from humans to animals is consisted of.

We can come up with increasingly more convoluted ways of defining what we are. Animals can't. Maybe that is our innate ability.
