Fragmented States includes several discontinuous pieces of territory.
Elongated States are states with a long and narrow shape.
Protruded/Prorupt States are otherwise compact state with a large projecting extension.

Territorial behaviour, in zoology, the methods by which an animal, or group of animals, protects its territory from incursions by others of its species. Territorial boundaries may be marked by sounds such as bird song, or scents such as pheromones secreted by the skin glands of many mammals. Wolf packs maintain territories in which they hunt and live. The male cougar has a large territory that may overlap the territories of several females but is defended against other males. Territories may be seasonal. In many songbirds the mated pair defends the nest and feeding area until after the young are fledged. In communally nesting birds such as gulls, the territory may simply consist of the nest itself.
