CHAMPION NECK - WRESTLERS RULE IN THE GIRAFFE HERD

image courtesy - youtube

Young bull giraffes in sub-Saharan Africa engage in a ritualized, brutal neck-wrestling match to establish supremacy. The two rivals stand side by side and slowly inter-twine their long necks, stretching to more than 4 m (13ft) off the ground, pushing against each other. lf neither gives in, one giraffe bends his neck outwards and swings it back, like a golfer taking a putt. Then each male takes it in turn to whack his rival on the shoulders and neck with his blunt horns. In serious bouts of 'necking, bulls end up exchanging sledge hammer blows.
