Photographed these 2 takin in a zoo. While it did not appear they were in a serious fight, they did carry on for some time. The smaller takin seemed to be the one starting the shoving matches.

I had to actually look up what a Takin was, so thanks for sharing. Personally, I wish the area behind the horns on the larger animal had more detail. It could be my monitor, but it looks a little washed out.

There is nice dynamic tension in this composition and in the behavior. The image seems a bit soft, however and I wonder if it involves camera movement. The fence, a real a challenge in captive situations, is unfortunate.
