Territorial behaviour, in zoology, the methods by which an animal, or group of animals, protects its territory from incursions by others of its species. Following, this definition, yes territorial behaviour exists in humans. You seem to be confusing territorial behaviour with general, aggressive behaviour. Whether or not the behaviours you describe qualify as territorial behaviour requires one to make a psychological study to determine whether the individuals had a notion of territory that they wish to defend. I'd argue that territoriality can be observed on many scales with humans. At the bar, 1-on-1 conversations with a spouse, between homes, between cultures, between parties during war, nations, the list goes on. It is also peculiar that humans seem to extend territoriality into abstract spaces, such as thoughts and ideologies.

For instance, intricate bird song, haunting duets by gibbon pairs, and wolves’ displays of strength and submissive body postures all relate back to territory defense. One male and female (Ho’oikaika and Lili’uwelo) have taken to streaming through the branches together, calling and warding off younger birds from a section of the forest. This potential pair is often seen making cooing noises to each other and preening (grooming each other) as their relationship and bond deepens. They still take long distance ventures to various corners of the natural area reserve where they live, so it seems they haven’t yet solidified their territory, but their behavior is encouraging. The morning dawns are now punctuated with territorial broadcast calls from different areas of the forest, as some of our older males have begun stating their intentions to the others. Some birds are showing signs of joint territory defense and are even engaging in pair-bonding behavior. When animals are first forming territories, it is not unusual for brief periods of conflict to erupt, as individuals start defending areas and figuring out the boundaries of where they want to defend.

In zoology, territorial activity refers to how an animal or a group of animals defends their territory from intruders of the same species. Territorial boundaries can be marked by scents such as pheromones secreted by the skin glands of several mammals or sounds such as bird songs. Several animals protect areas of land from intruders, most of whom are of the same genus. Sometimes, this is accomplished by the outright aggression towards intruders, whereas, sometimes, by threat displays, by song, and by scent marking. For example, spotted hyenas defend territories in the Ngorongoro crater, where prey is plentiful and predictable, but not in the Serengeti plains, where prey is more seasonal. In the American bullfrog, a few males achieve better mating success compared to others, these are the ones which are able to defend a territory having the best egg-laying sites. Golden eagles have territories of up to 9,000 hectares, least flycatchers have territories of up to 600 square metres, and gulls have territories of only a few square centimetres in the immediate vicinity of the nest. Sanderlings forage on sand flats and beaches, when on the beaches, they feed either in individual territories or flocks of 10 - 120 meters of shoreline.

Dogs can become aggressive when it comes to guarding what they believe to be their property. For example, items such as food bowls and toys. They can also become very territorial, and if an unknown individual tries to enter their domain, they may attack. You may also notice an extreme reaction from the dog when an unknown individual approaches their space, for example, the backyard. A postman arriving at the door may cause your pet to leap into a barking rage. Sounds, people and other animals can trigger these symptoms. Dogs are bred to protect their owners, which makes it important for their owners to be able to control them.
