Why in every animal dominance fight, there has to be a *3rd* male? Just why?

[@virtruyamean8920]

He's trying to beat the system

[@olivyae3057]

VirTRU Yamean is actually very much correct. The 3rd male is the intelligent one, trying to take advantage of the two earlier males fighting after they lose their energy. Divide and conquer. A strong 3rd male has a chance to beat two tired males.

[@syedanashussain90]

Markhor are adapted to mountainous terrain, and can be found between 600 and 3,600 meters in elevation. They typically inhabit scrub forests made up primarily of oaks , pines, and junipers.[2] They are diurnal, and are mainly active in the early morning and late afternoon. Their diets shift seasonally: in the spring and summer periods they graze, but turn to browsing in winter, sometimes standing on their hind legs to reach high branches. The mating season takes place in winter, during which the males fight each other by lunging, locking horns and attempting to push each other off balance. The gestation period lasts 135-170 days, and usually results in the birth of one or two kids, though rarely three. Markhor live in flocks, usually numbering nine animals, composed of adult females and their young. Adult males are largely solitary. Adult females and kids comprise most of the markhor population, with adult females making up 32% of the population and kids making up 31%. Adult males comprise 19%, while subadults (males aged 2-3 years) make up 12%, and yearlings (females aged 12-24 months) make up 9% of the population.[9] Their alarm call closely resembles the bleating of domestic goats.[3] Early in the season the males and females may be found together on the open grassy patches and clear slopes among the forest. During the summer, the males remain in the forest, while the females generally climb to the highest rocky ridges above.

I've been eagerly trying to find out what kind of dogs they were. Any ideas?
