The male giant tortoise on the right walked up to the one on the left. He literally "got in his face."
The two tortoises began stretching their necks for dominance. Taller wins. The one on the left got higher and the challenger slinked away. All in silence, all in slow motion. A highlight of the trip.

Nice photos Jack. You are really getting close to nature.
Astonishing creatures and what a civilised way to settle scores - though President Assad of Syria would be even more of a problem.
Love these guys!
Amazing creatures to get to see!
Love the challenge the turtles created and you got the photo! Great shot Jack.
These pics are fantastic, Jack!
Prehistoric looking things aren't they? I guess males are the same whatever species. ;)
Magnificent picture of the tortoises Jack. Standing next to you, I would be the short necked guy on the right!
I'm smiling!
Wow -- very cool experience! Wonderful captures.
