Intraspecific conflicts, no canids or felids

Since there are a lot of species outside of felids and canids, which have interesting and sometimes really impressive conflicts/confrontations, this thread can be used to highlight those from other postings.
I start this one with two alligators. Very interesting to hear sounds even though a short clip. Btw... also when talking about bite forces, we don´t see head crushing here. I point this out because so often people talk about "superior bite forces", here once again it can be seen, that some theoretical or even proven bite force, when biting something with a really good bite and not too thick object isn´t quite the same as situation is when bite isn´t perfect. I really don´t think, that crocodiles can bite so hard, when object is mostly there, where animals usually have canines, with crocodiles it could be said, that when in frontal part of jaws.
This is from Finland and earlier this month, May 2020. The person who filmed the video in article was fishing with his friend, when they noticed three sea eagles fighting on the sky. After some fight one sea eagle dropped and splashed to the water. These people observing it were surprised, when eagle looked around and started to swim towards a small island approximately 300 meters away. They followed the eagle and were ready to save it with the net used to take fish out of the water if that eagle would have got in trouble. But eagle managed to swim to the island after half an hour. Then it was there resting while seagulls were annoyed and harassed it a bit . After 10 minutes it was ok and flew away.
Quite interesting incident and luckily sea eagle was ok, there aren´t too many of them. Hopefully video is functional for all. https://www.iltalehti.fi/iltv-lukijan-videot/a/8291138e-acc6-4c7f-9823-ba99fa261d33
Some great footage concerning two brown bears (grizzlies) from Yellowstone. Older male bear (17 years old) finds a carcass left by younger and bigger male bear, which then returns... That older bear (lighter fur) was weighed short time before to be 617 lbs which is same as 280 kg. Younger bear is clearly bigger and well over 300 kg.
Here a video of that younger bear with a wolf, this happened earlier. Then these bear confronting each others, this is really interesting video to watch since two wild bears and something which both really want this time and neither one ready to give up willingly in the first place. Which one is the real king.... 
Midget Anteaters once again showing their impressive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills.

Now that second video should be functional if someone tried before and not playing. 
It looks like there happened a bit more than earlier videos showed in between bears 881 (collar, 280 kg) and 791 (no collar, something over 300 kg, clearly bigger bear than 881).
Short clip, but here is a short confrontation with a bit biting too.
More footage from elk kill done by bear 791 which bear 881 took over after 791 left the carcass.
Here some skirmish after 791 came back and 881 refused to give up the carcass. First starts soon after 4:10 and smaller at 5:15. Even though 881 obviously kept "main" carcass also 791 managed to get some scraps to eat.
This time female bear with cub was lucky and got some surprising help. From Katmai National Park, Alaska 2015.
Fighting for fishing spot, Katmai, Alaska 2019. Fight starts soon after 0:35 and it can be seen why these bears have scarves.
Same fight from around 9:00 and a bit better quality what comes to footage and no narration.
Same bears as above, looks to be 10 days later and this time shorter brawl.
And again same bears a month later (based on information on videos). Quite a change when looking at 68.
747 again, this time said to have a brawl with 856 and happened before the posting above, this August 5th-6th midnight 2019. Looks like 747 is one active bear what comes to confrontations.
