Like a real-life Clash of the Titans, these eight-ton elephants tear into each other for supremacy on the plains of Africa.
The two enormous raging bulls - each 13ft high - fight for the affection of herd females, who fled in terror at the macho display.
With five-foot long ivory tusks acting like daggers, the duelling elephants ram each other head on during their battle.
The mighty elephants smash heads as they attempt to spear each other with their 5ft-long tusks at the Amboseli National Park in Kenya
The 13ft-high beasts were competing to win the affections of the females in the herd, who had by this time fled from the scene in terror
One of the males rears up on top the other in an attempt to gain superiority as the ten-minute battle nears an end
Reaching breaking point: It is not uncommon for tusks to break in these fights such is the ferociousness of the battle
With the battle won, the victorious male heads off into the distance with his two trophies, while the other is left hanging his head in shame
