Burchell's Zebra fighting - Kruger National Park - South Africa
Male Burchell's Zebra look after a Harem of females. Young males just starting out will try to "kidnap" females from other males to start their Harem - this is when fighting occurs most often between males. Biting and kicking are the preffered methods and the fights can sometimes be rather serious.
