Water Deer buck fight

The tail-end of a fight between two Chinese water deer (_Hydropotes inermis_) bucks during the rut. While fighting the bucks circle one another (typically anticlockwise), each trying to land a canine blow on the other. Sound up for the chirruping.

Thanks to Sharon Scott for the video.
