GIAFFES FIGHTS WITH THEIR NECKS
WITH VID
By Saloni Mathur
Check out this video of two giraffes fighting each other using their long necks as a weapon.
Trikansh Sharma, a photography coach and wildlife tourism expert, visited Kenya on a safari when he came across this bizarre fight.
When male giraffes fight each other by swinging their necks, it is called "necking".
During necking, giraffes use their long necks and the bony ossicones on their heads to strike their opponents, sometimes resulting in injuries.
Trikansh Sharma, from Uttarakhand, India, said: “At first, necking looks a very awkward form of fighting.
“But as you observe more, you get mesmerised by the graceful and powerful neck movements of these gentle giants.”
