These are two of the most dominant Elk Bulls in this area of the Canadian Rockies. While the Older Bull is a little Larger and more experienced, the slightly Younger Bull has been pressing for dominance here for the last couple of weeks. These two huge Elk Bulls have had several short fights and have bugled back and forth almost constantly in between territory battles. While we don't know if this will be their last fight, it will likely remain one of the most Epic Elk Bull battles we have ever seen. The very rocky terrain under the river water is likely what caused the battle to end as neither of these two evenly matched Giants seemed to want to concede. You can also hear a younger bull near us overlooking the fight and bugling his incredible bugle several times.
During the rut, which is the breeding season for elk, bull elk engage in intense and dramatic battles for dominance and the opportunity to mate with receptive females. The Elk rut occurs in the fall, from late August to early October, depending on the location and subspecies of elk.
Bull elk establish a social hierarchy based on their size, age, and overall strength. The larger and more dominant bulls typically have greater access to mating opportunities and can control groups of females, known as harems.
Bull elk use bugling, a distinctive vocalization, to assert their presence and establish dominance. Bugling involves a series of high-pitched whistles and deep, resonant bellows. Additionally, bulls engage in visual displays of dominance, including posturing with their antlers and bodies to intimidate rivals.
The most iconic aspect of elk bull fights during the rut is the clash of antlers. Bulls use their massive, elaborately branched antlers to compete for mating rights. They lock antlers and engage in shoving matches, pushing and trying to overpower each other.
Before engaging in a full-blown fight, bulls often size each other up through non-aggressive displays, such as parallel walking, vocal challenges, and antler displays. This allows them to assess the strength and fighting abilities of their potential rivals.
The fights can be intense and fierce, with bulls charging at each other, colliding, and attempting to wrestle the other to the ground. The objective is to establish dominance and secure access to a group of receptive females, or a harem.
After establishing dominance, the winning bull will attempt to mate with the females in his harem. The defeated bull may try to challenge again or seek out other opportunities to mate.

போர் விதிகளுக்கு கட்டுப்பட்டு, அடுத்தவருக்கு பிரச்சனை இல்லாமல், மூன்றாம் நபர் தலை இடாமல், மிக அருமையான முறையில், அமைதியான போர்.
I see youngster elk took female elk and took of in woods while big buls fighting. Bravo he took advantage.
Incredible tactic! Last bit of strength to push the young man into the river. What a fight!
It was the dominant bull (presumably older) that got pushed into the river at the end. At least it appeared that he was the bull that had the females around him at the beginning of the video.
@@limericklad2000 even more interesting.
Super Pozdrawiam
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow
Elks are strong
Pushed him back across the river from which he came !
Nope, the bull who crosses the river at the beginning of the video is the bull who is victorious and pushes the other bull into the water at the end.
Well done!! What is the music?
