Ants use scent marks, which they place on their pathways. They are thus able to find their way back to the nest and direct other colony members to a food source.
Lions mark their territory by roaring and by scent marking. Males also proclaim their presence by urinating on bushes, trees, or simply on the ground, leaving a pungent scent behind.
Wolves use scent marking, along with howling, marking of territory with urine and feces lets neighbouring packs know they should not intrude.
