Here's why:
* Territory is a specific area that an animal or group of animals claims and defends as their own.
* It can be used for various purposes, including:
* Finding food and resources: Animals defend their territory to ensure access to food, water, and shelter.
* Raising young: Territories provide a safe and secure environment for raising offspring.
* Mating: Animals often use their territories to attract mates and deter rivals.
* Avoiding predators: Having a territory can provide some protection from predators, especially if the territory is well-known and defended.
Examples:
* A lion pride defending a patch of savanna.
* A bird defending its nest and surrounding area.
* A pack of wolves marking and patrolling their hunting ground.
