Bison bulls go head to head and spar. (Tony’s Takes)

Every child has heard those words uttered by their mother. Wildlife though, tends to go their own way, often with more dangerous hardware to yield. These two, young bison bulls had a bit of a sparring session recently and indeed, one’s horns did come perilously close to the other combatant’s eye.

These guys are impressive just standing alone but when you see them go head-to-head, you get a real appreciation of the sheer power they have. A full grown bull can weigh as much as 2,000 pounds and stand nearly 6 feet tall. These two were smaller than that but no less impressive.
