Masai Giraffe headbutting to establish dominance A fight between male Giraffes is not a spectacular fast action event, rather it is quite slow. Participants occassionally headbutt the other, and then need significant time to recharge their energy. In between they may feed together, as if to have a break from fighting. It's an endurance battle. Africa,Arusha,Arusha National Park,Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi,Maasai Giraffe,Tanzania Click/tap to enlarge
