Territory
Territorial animals defend animals that contain a nest, den or mating site. They defend their territory to get food for their families. Defense rarely creates a fight. Normally there is a display by the animals some how. It can be visual, vocal like in birds singing, olfactory through scent markers such as urination. An example of this is fighting fish. They WILL defend their area to the death.
