| This page shows several views of two stags in a friendly sparring match. |
|
|
| You can see the care with which they handle their now sharp and dangerous antlers. |
|
|
| In between bouts of locking and gentle pushing they'll graze side by side. |
|
|
| At all times their body posture is upright, meaning they're using their necks and shoulders to push. |
|
|
| Here's a little vigorous neck twisting. |
|
|
| You don't see the flat, hind leg driven thrusting of an all out fight. |
|
|
| Frisky, but still friendly. As the season progresses, some of the fights will heat up. |
