Real fights are rare among giraffes and they are typically over mating rights or territory. Males hit each other by swinging their necks and hitting the opponent with the top of the head, known as the ossicones. This can lead to severe injury and even death.

However, like in this case, another reason for fighting is actually what researchers call “play fighting” or sparring. Sparring matches are not as violent and are more like practice sessions for the real intense battles when they get into their prime.

Interestingly, Giraffes have a preference side to fight from. Rather than taking advantage of this, the opposing giraffe lines up head-to-toe, or head-to-head with the other giraffe. Each giraffe gets to fight from their preferred side and a fair fight is always established.

Some natural framing of some of our larger mammals! Some giraffe and a herd of elephant share some real-estate for a moment in time.

A stunning morning at Bush Lodge ☀️

Buffalo with a tiny calf, lots of cheeky warthogs, and a herd of eland. What an epic way to start the day!
