Two male zebras rushed into the rock and bit each other to death to compete for the top position. While traveling with her husband to Etosha National Park in Namibia, photographer Judy Malloch was fortunate to capture the scene of two male zebras fighting to the death in the grasslands for the top spot in their herd. .
“A male zebra had come to taunt another member of the herd. It seems, it wants to challenge to win the leader. Zebras are usually very calm, but sometimes they fight very fiercely to resolve conflicts,” Ms Malloch said. A male zebra, believed to be the leader of the herd, was opposed and threatened by a younger male zebra.
The younger zebra first approached the leader zebra and nibbled on its neck before leaping up to attack the leader. After being opposed and attacked by a member of the herd, the leader of the zebra decided to strike back at the aggressive and belligerent opponent.
Experience and strength helped the leading zebra to quickly prevail and defeat the opponent to restore order in the herd. The male zebra is younger than the leader zebra The aggressor leaps up to attack the leader of the pack. Immediately, the leader zebra responded with a bite to the neck of the opponent.
The aggressive young zebra quickly becomes vulnerable to the experience and strength of the leader zebra. The scene was captured by photographer Judy Malloch at Etosha National Park in Namibia In the end, the leader zebra won.
