Neck to neck

Washington, DC view map

Two giraffes at the National Zoo in Washington, DC, engage in "sparring" or "necking" activities.
Researchers say that juvenile and young adult male giraffes "compete" with one another by hitting
each other with their massive necks and heads, part of the development of a dominance hierarchy among male giraffes.
