Two Young males posture for a fight. If two males continue to push their massive bodies against each other, a fight will ensue. Each male will raise the upper portion of their bodies as high above the ground as possible. This means a full seven feet of their bodies is poised to battle the other. Two Young males slam their bodies together in a mock fight.
Most fights are short lived.
One male eventually submits and is run off the beach. When ever a male that has submitted to another male, encounters that dominate male again, the submissive male will move away or lie down on the beach. This sets the rank in the pecking order. Some larger harems will have males that are allowed to stay on the periphery of the harem and mate with a few of the females. These males will fight off other males who come close to the harem.
