Territorial Displays
Territorial displays are behaviors exhibited by animals to establish and defend their territory from intruders. These displays can include vocalizations, physical posturing, and visual signals, such as markings or coloration. The purpose is to communicate ownership and deter rivals, ensuring access to resources like food and mates.
Different species have unique territorial displays. For example, birds may sing loudly to mark their territory, while lions may roar to assert dominance. These behaviors are crucial for survival, as they help maintain boundaries and reduce conflicts within a species, promoting stability in their environment.
