Fighting Impalas.

The graceful Impala is a slender, medium-sized antelope that can be found only in Africa. It lives in grasslands, savannas and light woodlands, usually close by water.

Dominance during mating season is established via fights that sometimes end up fatally. Males run toward each other, colliding with their horns. Strength and body size are more important than the size of the horns.
