Red hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus caama) male charging an opponent. The beginning of a fight is marked with a series of head movements and stances, as well as depositing droppings on dung piles. The opponents drop onto their knees and, after giving a hammer-like blow, begin wrestling, their horns interlocking. One attempts to fling the head of the other to one side to stab the neck and shoulders with his horns.[50] Fights are rarely serious, but can be fatal if they are.
