About	Location: Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (encompassing the former Kalahari Gemsbok National Park), South Africa Date: 23 Mar 2005 Capture: Canon EOS-1D Mk II, Sigma AF 120-300 f2.8 APO EX IF HSM with Canon EF 1.4x II (at 346mm), 1/1500, f8, ISO 400 (The teleconverter was ?permanently attached? to the body to keep dust out when changing between the 120-300 and 500.) A large part of the fight is posturing like in the image. They slowly walk around side-by-side until they find the right moment to strike (see the comment), almost like a slow-motion boxing match.

James As usual I like all three shots. I like this a bit more because of the composition, the timing is perfect to catch them in a perfect position, what a tangle of legs :). Interesting info too - I wouldn't have known that they were preparing for a fight, the attached shot is great also
