STRENGTH AND SPEED

Grey heron
Brawling birds unleash
mid-air mayhem in
disputes over territory.
These two grey herons
face each other head-
on, filling the skies with
flapping wings and
flying feathers. This
predatory bird found
in Europe, Asia, and
Africa may even use
its beak to grasp an
opponent by the neck.

Giraffe
The world’s tallest
animal is not built for
battle, but dominant
giraffe bulls (males) on
the African savannah
still skirmish over
mates. They lash out
with their legs and
thrash with their necks
to topple the other
and triumph.
