A pair of Mule Deer are seen in Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park. Both were alert and cautious of our presence. The male seemed to be in a protective mode and stood his ground. The female was much more skittish and darted back and forth. Their ears display their varied dispositions.

Twenty first build in my Iron Builder samurai showdown with Kyubi.
Special ingredient is some sort of micro ball joint combo breaker.
When it involves a mate Zebra fighting can be quite brutal and sometimes end in death. No such ending here, just a sharp left hook being administered.

Here is another in the sequence of fighting Dippers that I took in the White Peak a couple of weeks ago. This one shows both birds gripping the face of their opponent while thrashing about in the water. But the really unusual thing about this fight is that it involved two females. A third bird watched quietly as the fight ensued and when the fight was over and the loser had been seen off, the quiet spectator mounted and mated the victor. Both of the fighting females had been singing and chasing about so my initial thought was that these must be two fighting males.
...Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
but I can make an explosion
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Now I've still got a lot of fight left in me...

I stumbled across this little jewel in the news today, and of course, I just had to share!
Most of us that have been on Flickr for a reasonable length of time have crossed paths with at least one person who came across as rude, unreasonable, or just plain disagreeable. A friend of mine, Mike, called these "Flickr Fights", and I now have serious reason to be grateful that he wasn't cranky when I doctored up a photo of him and his brother, Paul. (whew!)
Here's a story about one that apparently managed to get out of control for at least one man...

Here's a link to the profile of one of the men involved:

The other, I suspect, has deleted his Flickr account for some reason.

Féria de Nîmes. Matador: El Juli
A much-disputed "art," bullfighting has been outlawed in many places but still takes place in Nîmes where some 20k spectators gather twice a year.
My intention here is to record what I saw, leaving it up to you to decide what seems admissible. I saw this but once, seven years ago...and I only looked at these photos in recent months, photos which were probably taken to avoid watching the fight itself.
The bull, if he wins (sometimes the judges spare his life), retires to pasture and sires new calves. If he doesn't, the meat is immediately transferred to butchers' vans, waiting at the exit to the arena. In some cases, the meat is given to the poor.
This photo struck me for the almost symmetrical body language in the matador which mirrored that of the bull.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Veteran’s Day…. We owe our troops, past and present so very much. We don’t thank them enough.
Kevan shot this photo earlier this year of two Tricolored Herons in breeding plumage having a territorial fight, most likely for nesting space. These scrimmages happen very quickly and not only is it hard to get one in the frame, it‘s even harder to get them both in the frame and in focus!

Kenners may be old but they're tough. These babies have survived tomato patches, extended periods of time in cedar closets (whatever that means) and various restorations.
That said they are quite fragile. Robin's legs are held on using knickers and tights as they fly off at inopportune moments. She also can't stand up without help (note my sneaky fingers)
As the ruckus between these birds erupted I quickly lifted my camera to capture the action as two mature Red-necked Grebes went at one another for a bit. They were chest to chest and beaks were involved - ouch! I believe this to be a territorial dispute between two grebe pairs on the lake. After they quit attacking one another, one of them shook it's wings, and things appeared to return to normal.

The fight or flight response is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival.
(Just more experimenting in black and white, selective colour for me)
