-Signs-Of-Agression !!!!!!!!

The giraffes are such elegant animals and often during the courting season they use their necks as signs of affection. This image though is of two males who are showing signs of aggression. If it gets really serious it can even mean death for the loser. Often this occurs when they are rivaling for the attention of the female. It is truly amazing to see and if you look closely you can see how the horn is pushed into the leg of the other . They whack their necks together with great force and this can cause fatal injury. Fortunately we did not witness anything like that
