Two young African elephant bulls spar with one another as dusk falls over the Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa. These bulls were serious in determining their ranking status amongst the elephant herds and they chased, shoved, pushed, poked and clashed with one another for well over an hour and until one of the two turned and ran away in submission.
