Two male reticulated giraffes in battle with each other trying to determine dominance. Later they will be fighting each other for females, but not now. This battle also called necking took place on the edge of the Ewaso Ng'iro river in Kenya.

 

In the middle of the reserve, the Ewaso Ng'iro flows through doum palm groves and thick riverine forests. It provides water, without which the game in this arid region could not survive.
