SUMO CHAM. warning video.

its pretty vicious i know, but at least its not some idiots puposly doing this for the fun of it. its nature, and nature goes no matter how bad it can be
 
Thank you for the excellently worded warning. I appreciate that. Based on it, I did watch the video and can say that--well known wimp that I am--I didn't find it upsetting in anyway. They both get a bit banged up but as you say, they both walk away from it.
 
exactly. it happens all the time in the wild obviously for territorial or mating purposes or just plain bad days. But when it's being forced upon like some sick match, its complete animal cruelty and no care or respect for the animals and their well being at all. lol so sure ur still watching thoes vids phil lol :p
 
actually im not. lol. i just woke up from a power nap cause my wisdom tooth is punching my brain. guh,, i wish one of these chams would just knock me out for the day :(
 
They look more like they are wrestling than anything...they weren't biting hard enough to take chunks. It wasn't that bad.
 
i realy dont think chams fight to kill. they fight to show eachother up. i agree, the bites didnt look hard enough to do damage, but perhaps more for holding the opponent in place. but than again.. who knows the effects this had on either animal. just because there was no blood drawn in the video, bones could have easily been broken. a cham deffinatly can pack a pretty bad punch if it wanted to. i guess we can observe and wonder why they fight like this
 
wow. Don't know how or when it started but at one point it appears one is trying to get away but is pursued by the other. One does leave rather green, I assume the winner, and the other is in deep stress colours. At what point is dominance asserted here and why the continued pursuit? Animal behaviorists care to chime in?

i believe it was a fair scrap until the first one made the bite move.
