Pics of dumeril's combat I promised.

Sizing each other up.


A show of strength.


Someone faltered.


The takedown.

This went on for about 15 minutes of which I captured about 5 minutes on video. There was no biting or tail whipping, purely a show of strength. The pictures don't show it, but they would put their nose into each others throat and use it to force the opponants head back.
These animals are lots of fun.
