The latitudes south of the Sahara offer vastly different battlegrounds for a wide range of warriors; male giraffes swing their heads like wrecking balls, zebras boast the most powerful kick in the animal kingdom, and chimpanzee warfare is familiar.

Battle of the Alphas

Sub Sahara

Wildebeest battle for herd hierarchy, meerkats live the thug life, floppy fish fight it out on land and locusts give up their vegetarian ways in a frenzy of cannibalism; it all happens on the wild and wide-open landscape of South Africa.

From the Highlands to the Alps, Europe's evocative landscapes are the backdrop for epic wildlife drama; normally stoic red deer go wild during the rut; wolf packs clash over territory, and foxes do the foxtrot, but it's not as nice as it sounds.

Europe

Bighorn rams rattle the mountaintops; Brown bears battle, desperate to fatten up for winter; Sharp-tailed grouse shake their tail-feathers; Wild stallions rumble with beauty and grace.

With real-life dueling dragons, giant sumo-wrestling beetles, street-fighting monkeys, and sea turtles that play king of the hill - on top of another sea turtle, Southeast Asia boasts a wide range of wildlife warriors.

Southeast Asia

Learning to fight dirty with a guanaco, head-butting a fellow iguana to claim a piece of prime territory, and meeting a hermit crab who forcibly evicts a tenant from its shell.

South America

Canada, where summer is short and time is tight, any time is the right time to fight; the mighty North provides the setting for bison, bald eagles and polar bears to wage some of the most heavy-duty fighting in the animal kingdom.

Canada

Massive elephant seals go nose to nose to win the title of beach master; giant petrels earn the nickname "murderous garbagemen"; a female humpback goes to extremes to protect her calf from amorous males.

Welcome to India - a land of exotic animals and exotic warfare; monkeys stage dusty dust-ups, blackbucks wage open war on the open plains, and peacock dandies swing switchblades: these are colorful battles worthy of a vibrant land.

The African savanna is an epic landscape, and whether it's head-bashing hippos, hormone-crazed elephants or dueling lions, battles that rage on the savanna are just as epic.

Australia is home to an eclectic array of creatures, and the ways to succeed as an alpha are just as diverse; the beach turns into a dueling ground and the outback becomes a boxing ring, as animals face off with their own kind.

Madagascar is home to strange animals not found anywhere else on Earth; when these animals fight for supremacy, their battles are just as strange, from weird neck-wrestling weevils to ring tailed lemur moms that go into battle with baby on board.
