Territorial behavior is when a certain type of organism like tiger, has made its own area of control in a certain region, in which that tiger determines who or what it allowed in it, or is in control of mates or resources that other males and organisms might want. If that tiger is unhappy with another tiger or other organism being in its territory, there will most likely be a fight between the two until one is dead, or one of them surrenders. Other times, they might not even fight with each other, and instead display their strength and dominance to each other, by growling or pacing back and forth until one of them backs away. A tiger will do this for its mates as well, and for food and other resources if the situation allows for it, since other tigers or organisms might want to claim these things.

This behavior has allowed for species such as tigers to adapt well to their surrounding environment, along with other animals of the same and different species. For example, tigers can live more comfortable lives by fending off other male tigers and other species of animals and acquire mates that as a result pass on that genetic information. Also, these tigers can fend off predators and other tigers from acquiring food and resources withing their territory, which allows them to save more food for their mates and young, and eat more food. The tiger population will never be extremely big thanks to this, since tigers will always be fighting and claiming territory. Allowing for only the strongest and most intimidating genetic information to pass down the gene pool.

I think that territorial behavior is beneficial for different organisms, since it allows for organisms to protect certain areas, resources, or mates from other predators and other members of the same species. This also often times prevents fights from happening, since organisms that show this behavior try to be very intimidating and scare away any predators. I think this strategy is shown to be effective in real life as well, since nuclear superpowers are afraid to fight each other due to fear of  mutual destruction or taking heavy damage.
