Species principle: Deterrence
Be costly to attack.
Some boundaries work because crossing them has a real cost.
Cane Toads have large parotoid glands that secrete potent toxins. This chemical defense deters many predators and helps the toad survive despite being slow-moving.
Species principle: Digging Deterrence
Dig with a warning.
Steady work stays safer when the warning is clear.
Patagonian Hog-nosed Skunks use strong snouts and claws for digging and chemical spray as a defensive deterrent against predators.
