Whale attack!
A show about killer whales attacking a California gray whale and her calf while "whale watchers" in a boat witness in horror.
Yes, animals in the wild kill each other!!!!
One person on board could be heard shouting, "Call the Coast Guard!" and the narrator intoned, "There was nothing anybody could do..." People don't seem willing to understand that these are animals. The Coast Guard is not charged with preventing animals from murdering other animals.

Protecting territory usually is protecting against encroachment of your own species since you both compete for the same mates and resources. I'm not sure there are examples of a species purposefully targeting another species over territory per se but I could be wrong.
