Male giraffes fight each other by 'necking'! They push their long necks against each other, bending and twisting them in order to win the fight by a show of strength. Many animals fight this way, including snakes, insects and crabs. Competing in this way allows animals to find out who's boss while protecting themselves from injury. The strongest wins and the loser just has to go away.
Tequila sunset
Tequila sunset Tequila is running dry as the demand for popular
drink soars. Tequila is a distilled spirit made from the agave
plant, which takes eight to ten years to mature. The increased
demand, along with a fungus that hit Mexico's blue agave, is
depleting the world's supply of tequila. The slow growth of the
agave makes a quick recovery of the population and over-harvesting
impossible. It looks like the world will just be short of tequila
for at least a decade! MAY 19, 2001
