  1. I don’t know enough about giraffes — both males? Both females? Mixed pair? I don’t know enough about giraffe body language to tell — a dominance fight, adolescent males rough-housing, or what?
    Notice the long periods of leaning against each other & subtle head/neck/ear movements.
    Thanks for sharing, though.

  2. Those are males. Serious fights – can be fatal. See more here and here.

  3. There is another YouTube video of necking giraffes here:
