When giraffes fight, slamming their heads and necks against each other, the impact can be heard from a hundred meters away. | National Geographic

Giraffes chose violence today. Their necks pack a powerful recoil force and fights like this are not unusual. Male giraffes fight using their long necks, a behavior known as "necking," primarily to establish dominance and compete for mating rights or territory. These fights can be quite intense, with giraffes swinging their heads and necks, using the hard horn-like ossicones on their skulls to deliver powerful blows. #enkajisafaris #wildlife #giraffes #mating #dominance | Enkaji safaris
