Agonistic behavior results in a contest which involves both threatening and submissive behavior between contestants who are competing for access to the same resource, such as food or a mate. Sometimes it involves tests of strength or the contestants engage in threatening displays that make them look large or fierce, often with exaggerated posturing and vocalizations, such as a dog growling and bearing teeth or when defeated, tucking in their tail and looking away.

The behavior sometimes involves a ritual, use of symbolic activity with no harm done to either participant. The degree of the ritual depends on the scarcity of the resource competed for.
