These young reticulated giraffes were sparring with each other, swinging their long necks to delivery punishing blows. Eventually a larger male came along and broke up the fight. Photographed in April of 2024 in Samburu National Reserve in Kenya. We’re still looking to fill an empty tent for our upcoming trip in June of 2025. If you or any one you know is interested, please get in touch for more details. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 115mm) ISO 180, f/4 at 1/2000th of a second.

What a beautiful image, Sean!
Thanks Sue. They were really putting on quite a show.
Siamese Twins
Just about.
How human-like for a parent to break up kids that are fighting!
Yes, that’s what it was like as the big guy slowly stepped between them.
Great moment to capture! Brings a whole new meaning to “necking”! They are just spectacular to watch.
