DEER FIGHTING FOR DOMINANCE<br />WITH VID<br />By Saloni Mathur<br />Check out this thrilling video of two axis deer aggressively fighting each other for dominance. <br />Trikansh Sharma, a photography coach and wildlife tourism expert, visited the Corbett Tiger Reserve in Uttarakhand, India, on a photo safari when he spotted these two brawlers. <br />The axis deer or the chital is one of the several species of adult deer which retain their white spots into adulthood. <br />These deer fight with each other primarily as a way to establish dominance and secure mating opportunities with females. <br />Trikansh Sharma, from Uttarakhand, India, said: “These fights are so fast yet aggressive that I was stunned when I came across them. <br />“Fights like these also help establish a social hierarchy among the males and provide a chance to impress the females. <br />“These are intense fights, but they are rarely fatal. More often than not, it ends with one contestant retreating or leaving the area.”<br />ENDS
