I recently watch a show on NGC that included a fight bewteen rhinos and another between giraffes (I thought of the family on safari). They never stated the length of the horns during the battle, but the rhino with the unusually long horn was not winning. On the otherhand the shorter horned rhino was able to effortlessly lift the other off the ground. Four feet long definetly puts their size into perspective. The giraffe fight similarly out of context on tv except when thinking of the ones I have seen and know how long their necks are. They were head butting eachother from the same postion you have pictured. With a well pinned blow one was knocked unconsious and collapsed to the ground. It did aventually regain consciousness but I don't think their size or the reality of it translates well from tv. Reading your posts gives me better perception. Thanks for more interesting stories from your adventures and glad no one was hurt by the scorpion!
