Animals will use scent, like poo or urine. If an animal comes to the territory and does not realize, the scent is like a message. It warns "This is my territory, no tresspassing!" If the animal ignores the "message," they may find themselves in for a fight. Deer scrape the ground and leave a pile of dirt, then either poo or leave urine in it. Rhinos also do this, and probably many others.
