Question

urinating on trees at the territorial boundary.
howling at dusk in the center of their territory.
leaving paw prints near the territorial boundary.
whining and growling around the den.

Explanation:

• Urinating on trees at the territorial boundary: This is a common scent - marking behavior used by wolves to mark territory.
• Howling at dusk in the center of their territory: Howling can communicate the presence of the pack to other wolves and mark the territory.
• Leaving paw prints near the territorial boundary: This can also be a form of marking, similar to other visual or scent - related marks.
• Whining and growling around the den: Whining and growling around the den are more likely related to social interactions within the pack (such as communication between pack members) rather than territory - marking.

Answer:

Whining and growling around the den.
