| English | English The film shows the various fighting methods of zebras (Equus quagga böhmi), as seen in their natural surroundings. All methods of fighting occur also in the playful arguments between young and adult stallions, but at a slower pace. There is virtually no ritualisation and the zebra can, in any case, not inflict serious injuries. The first part of the film shows fighting games among young males: neck wrestling, biting in the standing and sitting position, and encircling. This is followed by playful fights between adult males and the last 6 sequences are of serious fighting among male zebras. |
