Giraffe photos by Maher Kassar
We spent at least half an hour watching these two giraffes fighting one evening at Mfuwe in South Luangwa National Park. The wrestling match could go on for days, until one of them walks away. And then still the other might follow for more.

Hi Alessandro,
Me neither. It was interesting to watch, and the story our safari guide told us about how it can go on for days intrigued us all.
Thanks for dropping by,
Nat
