Test of Strength
Two young bull elephants establishing superiority. They rarely ever get into actually fights, but constantly test one another.
For whatever reason, it is really important for the elephants in a herd to have a hierarchy. If there are a 100 elephants, there will be a similar jockeying amongst the weakest two in the herd to establish who is #99 and who's #100.
