Two young Maasai Giraffes at Arusha National Park The first two-headed Giraffe ever spotted. Seriously, these are two young male Giraffes found in the middle of a path in Arusha National Park, Tanzania. They're not friends either, they're fighting over dominance.

    Headbutt:

    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
