Episode Information
Biological instinct is driven by three things: the desire to stay alive, to find food and to breed. But to do all these things, animals first need a home. Humans have long recognised the importance of territory, from the land rush to conquering armies. As soon as we realised the value of land for its game, fresh water or building materials we laid claim to it – even if it wasn’t our own. Animals are no different, and out in the wilderness a safe and rich place to call home can be the difference be-tween life and death. A place to secure meals, raise their families and hide from danger. Ideal spots are in short supply but are vital to any creature’s success and well worth fighting for! From lion scraps to insect warfare, these conflicts can provide us with some of the most remarkable specta-cles in the animal kingdom.
