Detailed explanation-1: -territorial behaviour, in zoology, the methods by which an animal, or group of animals, protects its territory from incursions by others of its species.

Detailed explanation-2: -An example of demonstrating territoriality might be the car size. Driving a large truck like the Ford F-450 might be communicating that a value of owning a lot of space on the highway. However, driving a small car like the Smart, then might be communicating no need to occupy so much space.

Detailed explanation-3: -Type A: It is an ‘all-purpose territory, ’ where all activities take place. For example, mating, courtship, foraging, and nesting. Type B: It is a nesting and mating territory, except for the majority of the foraging area. Type C: It is a nesting territory that includes the nest, including a small area around it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Porteus (1977), identified three interrelated levels of territoriality; personal space, home base (spaces that are actively maintained), and home range (behavior that is formed is part of people’s lives).

Detailed explanation-5: -Conflict is ubiquitous in the animal kingdom. In some cases it results in direct violence, injuries, and death. But in many examples conflicts are resolved through posturing, displays, and trials of strength.
