There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Here should be posted video clips showing what happened or if photos, not only some random photo with text like "rhino and buffalo fight". If only a photo or photos, then there should be also a good description about it what happened. How it started and how it ended up. If someone wants to post only some random photo, then seek some other thread, there are threads for excellent photos etc. Put here only things, which show or tell what happened.
Anyway in this thread can be put practically all interspecific conflict situations, also between domesticated animals, which haven´t had really a good thread before. But as said, to keep postings interesting, no random photos only!
I start with a video, which had a gem, imo, and surprised me.
Watch from 1:25 to 1:45, that was quite a knockout! I almost spilled my coffee :) There is also that situation leading to what is on thumbnail of this video. Right before this situation, which impressed me the most.
I still don't understand how could a smaller sheep managed to knocked an adult cow out. Usually heavier mass is equal to more power, maybe it is the speed that somehow increased the force produced by the sheep?
Rams are used to run and bang their horns to whatever pisses them off, so it feels logical that they can take heavy "punches" and be just ok... something in neck and head anatomy(?). But as I wrote I almost spilled my coffee because of laughter when I saw that clip, it was so unbelievable sight for me too. That cow must have been quite confused too. Maybe thinking twice before trying again.
