Necking means something different to giraffes. 🦒 Giraffe necking is a form of combat where giraffes use their necks and ossicone-topped heads to hit their opponents in a competition for dominance. In the case of Shiner and Mananasi, however, Shiner was castrated when he was young to prevent any real knock-down-drag-outs with future breeding bulls. #giraffes #fossilrim #wildlife #safaripark | Fossil Rim Wildlife Center
