Ok; professional and old Ethologist here. These two guys are actually VERY polite to each other. No brute force; just the very formal "head tussle" event. Put our heads together; 1,2,3, GO. This is Bison Sumo. Incredibly fast- it's easier to see the politeness if you play the video at 1/4 speed. The older fellow; the one who starts with the lady; is always in charge; the younger one who is a little bigger, but has no scars, is consistently being pushed backwards; every time. At the end, the Old Man- turns his butt to Junior, and says "I dare you, twerp." The twerp does not dare, in fact, and quickly finds something else to do, far away. Classic! And BEAUTIFULLY captured here. Some of those scars on the Old Man's sides might well be the result of such dares in earlier days- with the result of getting a quick horn through the hide... it's risky. These guys are SO polite I'm tempted to hypothesize that Junior may in fact be the Old Man's son or grandson. Do they know? I guarantee they do. My guess is based on years of watching horse herds; the stallion knows his offspring, and his behavior towards them even when mature, is radically more forgiving than strangers would receive.
Very interesting summary. I do notice how often bulls assess the risk before reacting to a hopeful challenger, generally blocking access to the cow it accompanies. I agree most wildlife recognize their offspring. Thanks for commenting.
The bulls started sctatching with the hooves first. Is that a sign what would come next? Doesn't the red colored car raise their blood pressure, knowing that Torreros use a red clored cloth to start and direct a bull attack? Some years ago I had a red car and when (initially) curious horses at a fence saw me coming close, they turned away their heads! They couldn't watch my car driving close by! I think "red" means blood for them, making them anxious (or aggressive if they were big bulls).
I'm an Australian. I love watching these buffalo videos - magnificent animals! And knowing that they were brought from the edge of extinction to healthy numbers makes me feel good inside.

Let the lands return to their natural state. Expand wildlife and forest parks and preserves worldwide by 100X. Allow all ranges of animals from the smallest to the alphas to have habitats for our future generations.
A while back my dad told me that someone at a zoo was smacking a stick at the fence of a bison enclosure. After he didnt stop the bison charged and knocked down a small part of a fence to chase him. Bison are amazing and powerful creatures.
We were leaving Old Faithful several years ago, turned left onto the road to go to Jackson and the Grand Tetons, looked to our left and a buffalo comes running by us in the median, right behind her were two very large buffalo running after her, then they stopped and had an epic battle right there by us! Of course, the female kept running and was long gone. Pretty intense. Lots of raw power in their battles.
This month I thought I would witness another battle as one bison spent a half hour seemingly intent on displacing a bull from his grazing territory. Dead run chases and lots of pawing the ground and thrashing of sagebrush. Unpredictable behemoths!
@@steelisthemeal Ummm yes. That's how I think from my perspective when animals get mad or irritated with us humans....aka hoomans! Don't be offended it's not a bad thing.:/

Some bison fights are fatal. Bison carefully prepares for a fight. The standoff may last several hours but the fight itself is short. Bison live in a highly organized bison community centered on the alpha-type male. Any stranger male that tries to approach other bison communities is destined to fight. Such a male is seen as an intruder or interruptor of the bison social order. This is where the 'merciless' and the 'amazing' meet together and unveil.
So disappointed. When I saw the thumbnail, I was thinking that I was going to watch a bison beat the hell out of a 4runner.

What incredible footage, thanks for uploading this. To think, these animals were so close to being extinct not too long ago.
Thanks. I believe these survivors have the genetic makeup of mountain bison that did elude the slaughter that occurred in the late 1800's.
Bison bellowing is so guttural and primal. Very scary.
Very Earthy. Much superior instincts than foolish, no Stupid two legged.
