Dennis,
The combat the males exhibited did not cause any injuries to any of the animals. They would lock horns, and push each other until one would give in. The animal with the injury received the injury when it was a baby and not during its adult life or in the colony. He was the dominant male even though he had that injury. Even with him being the Dominant male this did not prevent any of the other males breeding the females. As a matter of fact the male with the injury lived to the age of 7 years old before he perish of what we believe to be old age.
