Territory

Real World Example

Imagine trying to maintain your personal space in a crowded subway train during rush hour. Just as you instinctively create a small zone around yourself to ensure comfort and prevent others from encroaching, animals establish and defend territories to secure their resources and space. Your effort to keep your personal space is akin to an animal's instinctive behavior to occupy and defend its territory, both driven by the need for security and personal control over an area.
