The Greatest Fights In The Animal Kingdom | Top 5 | BBC Earth

Some of the greatest fights in the animal kingdom come down to grand displays of aggression and raw strength, but many ultimately get resolved without serious injury or harm. Take a deer, for example: In order to establish dominance and territory, two bucks will lock antlers and push against each other, but eventually one concedes before any real damage can be done. Similarly, baboons often battle it out using threatening postures and facial expressions in an attempt to intimidate their opponent into submission - all without ever having to actually engage in physical combat. Even lion prides amicably contest territories using sound and smell signals as triggers for either conformist behavior or retreat - which is impressive by comparison when compared to fights between humans!
