Clash of the Titans: Watch as two Elephant bulls fight for dominance.
Two African bulls of elephants faced each other to fight for dominance. Unlike some animals, male elephants can live together, but there is a need to have a defined flow of authority in the herd. Spotted by tourists in the park, the two elephants came out of the bush with locked horns.
The battle of the largest land animals surely shocked the earth. No animal dares to challenge the elephant on a good day. But themselves, they want to make sure their positions among themselves. Captured on camera is a rare battle of two strong elephants locking horns.

As they came out of the bushes, sounds from locking horns could be heard crashing from afar. The tourists got terrified because the bulls changed their minds and attacked them. Instead, the bulls wanted to show who the area’s ruler was. They looked at each other, moving slowly in anticipating attacks. Indeed when the elephant fights, it is the grass that suffers. Trees got broken, the grass trashed, and the land weakened as the bulls locked horns.
Blood coloured the trunk of the defeated bull as the two giants respectfully moved away from each other. Tourists loved it as they enjoyed such a historic capture.

How do male elephants interact with each other
Male elephants can live together o well as long as there is respect for the dominant male. They have more time together than their engagement with females and calves. They fight for dominance by playful pushing, mild engagement and sometimes raging battles that may lead to death. But as soon as the debate of superiority settled, male lions lived well together.
They are big and feared enough in the jungle that they can parade alone and find enough food compared to females and calves. This idle time gives male elephants more idle time they use to bond amongst themselves while the females and calves are grazing.
