Two Red Deer Stags lock antlers

Two Red Deer Stags lock antlers on Ardnamurchan - the stags where close for the 600mm and by resting the camera hood on a deer fence I was able to get some video of this event. Although the footage could have been more stable at times had I had the tripod with me.

Separate them pls, 😢

[@rou966]

This is very normal behavior for stags so there's no reason to separate them

@@rou966 no, war is not normal, do you know your purpose ? It is to make/set peace ( in jungle).

@@radinelaj3932 Human wars sure, but wild animals do their own thing. That's natural. Agree to disagree I suppose.

@@radinelaj3932 it's normal behavior; this isn't war, this is two animals doing what their instincts have told them to for 4 million years. homo sapiens have only been around for 300k years.
