Necking means something different to giraffes. 🦒 Giraffe necking is a form of combat where giraffes use their necks and ossicone-topped heads to hit their opponents in a competition for dominance. In the case of Shiner and Mananasi, however, Shiner was castrated when he was young to prevent any real knock-down-drag-outs with future breeding bulls. #giraffes #fossilrim #wildlife #safaripark | Fossil Rim Wildlife Center

Giraffes engage in a behavior known as “necking,” where they swing their necks and heads to strike each other. This ritualized display often serves as a way to establish dominance among males. The impact can be quite forceful, and while it may look playful, it plays a crucial role in their social hierarchy. Over time, the most successful neckers gain access to mates and resources. #Wildlife #NatureLovers #AnimalPhotography #Giraffes #NatureGram #AdventureAwaits #ExploreTheWorld #TravelPhotograph
