Many animals create "sign-posts" to advertise their territory. Sometimes these sign-posts are on the boundary thereby demarcating the territory, or, may be scattered throughout the territory. These communicate to other animals that the territory is occupied and may also communicate additional information such as the sex, reproductive status or dominance status of the territory-holder. Sign-posts may communicate information by olfactory, auditory, or visual means, or a combination of these. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territory_(animal))

In North America, romaine is sold as whole heads or as "hearts" that have had the outer leaves removed and are often packaged together. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romaine_lettuce)
