Giraffes have a unique conflict resolution known as “necking”

Updated on May 18, 2024January 18, 2023

Giraffes have a unique method of conflict resolution known as “necking”, where they will stand side-by-side and push their necks against each other. This behavior establishes dominance between two males competing for access to a female or a territory.
