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.
Waggle dance shows how much bees like pollen
Waggle dance shows how much bees like pollen Honey bees use a "waggle dance" to indicate to
others in the hive what direction pollen is in, and what the
quality of the pollen is. The more 180-degree turns they do, the
higher the quality of the pollen that they have found. However,
researchers investigating differences in bees' reactions to pollen
have found that not all strains of bees evaluate the quality of
pollen equally. 15 AUGUST 1998, P. 16
