Iberian lynxes raised by mountain goats
Behavioural biologist here.
Due to the high risk of serious injury during real fights and all the potential life-threatening issues that being injured in the wild may bring (specially for predators who need to actively hunt prey), most animals have evolved very ritualized power displays along with alternate less violent combat behaviours. Winning a territorial fight is meaningless if you die from infection 2 months later.
These alternative fights usually allow opponents to better size each other and determine a victor through a proxy without resorting to more violent means, which is basically a win win for everyone. Only if these displays fail, and no opponent backs down, does the conflict escalate into a real fight, and this video is a very good example of this.
Now, now. Perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything.
When you wanted to be a goat, but mother nature decided you’d be a lynx
Why tf is he so close
It’s territorial if I’m not mistaken. One is waiting for the other to back down, similarly to how rhinos compete. That is very cool.
I think there’s a glitch in the matrix
Psssssss whsssssss whssssss whssssss whssssss
That had me cracking up. I wouldn’t want to redirect their attention to me 🤣
*smash* owwwwww *smash* owwwwwwwww *smash* owewwwwwww *smash*
I’m the goat, no I’m the goat.
Beautiful big cats
And the cameraman got some balls
I read that as two liberal lynxes and was about to question how this was political. I need more sleep this morning lol
Mating behaviour? They look like a married couple.
Not everyone can be the GOAT
My head hurts
Epitome of Do it even number of times or crow will bite.
Me and my mates do this all the time, it’s not a fight but shows we are hyped to see each other
the consequence of having all the AI be around and so accessible is that however interested or in awe I would have been at this video even 2 years ago, it’s now completely gone.
I think “cool!” quickly followed by “could be AI. might as well not trust it unless it’s from a source like a BBC documentary or something”
handheld video isn’t really evidence anymore. AI almost completely removed my investment in interesting things on the internet.
of course I can look up if this is a real behavior, but the wonder of randomly browsing and seeing cool stuff has turned to mostly “meh”
This is normal behavior. They are fighting over something and instead of using their claws and risking major injury/death they do the headbutt to size each other up.
They are not weak animals. It’s stupid to get close. Even small wild cats can harm you, these would probably beat your ass.
Mf over there *pspssspss*……no sir
He really said psspsspss
Maybe they identify as Iberian Ibex
Ibuprofen ad
Cats raised by rams
Raised by goats lol
*”Khajiit has headache, if you have Tylenol”*
They were raised by goats btw
They were just loading their sprigs
They met on Lynxden..
Cameraperson: Oh cool, oh no it just got interesting. CUT!!!!!!!!
Looks like a glitch in the matrix…
This is essentially a warning between both of them giving the other a chance to back down. Their fights usually end up being fatal for at least one side, and this is their way of testing to see if the other wants to walk away before they have to fight to the death.
I have the impression that it’s not that common with them since both of them are aware of this technique.
Further in the distance, two librarian lynxes engaged in a similar fight, but they were too quiet so nobody found them
I used to love this kind of interesting stuff, behaviors of animals, now my first thought is “is this AI trying to figure out how two cats would fight?”. Then I search the comments to see if others are saying it’s AI. Then I lose interest. AI has wrecked the most simple pleasures on the internet.
Looks like the animal AI from call of juarez.
that’s jaxson dart and cam skattebo
Like this one but with more head butting –
