We all think of Zebra and Giraffe as peaceable types, almost like kiddie cartoon creatures, but they do collide in their own wacky ways ... and all because of the ladies :lol:

Cheers folks ... the edits aren't great as done on a netbook 'in the field' but they are very unusual captures. The Giraffe were especially interesting. There was clearly a set of specific steps involved, particularly in terms of how they placed their legs and then took turns in head butting. An egalitarian beating!
