A strong creature savages a less strong creature while a non involved creature waits his turn at the remains. A large bull elephant protectively moves his females and young away from a water hole as a herd of vicious water buffalo appear. Alone, he would not budge. Two young males fight - for leadership, for a female, for the sheer spirit of it. Birds are monogamous, fish have no sex lives, all creatures by instinct or design are capable of loving one another.
