hunting territories
Predators' claimed grounds
Hunting territories are areas where animals or humans regularly hunt for food.
In wildlife biology, the term describes regions that predators defend against others of their species, ensuring exclusive access to prey: Wolf packs establish hunting territories spanning hundreds of square miles.
For indigenous peoples, hunting territories are ancestral lands where communities have traditional rights to pursue game, often governed by customary law rather than state boundaries.
