Despite all findings of Goethean science water deer use their tusks for territorial fights and are not related to carnivores. Confrontations between males begin with the animals walking slowly and stiffly towards each other, before turning to walk in parallel 10--20 m / 32--64 ft. apart, to assess one another. At this point, one male may succeed in chasing off his rival, making clicking noises during the pursuit. However, if the conflict is not resolved at the early stage, the bucks will fight. Each would try to wound the other on the head, shoulders, or back, by stabbing or tearing with his upper canines. The fight is ended by the loser, who either lays his head and neck flat on the ground, or turns tail and is chased out of the territory. Numerous long scars and torn ears seen on males indicate that fighting is frequent. The fights are seldom fatal but may leave the loser considerably debilitated. Tufts of hair are most commonly found on the ground in November and December, showing that encounters are heavily concentrated around the rut.

List animals with fangs that are not canines?

Depends on what kind of fangs you are talking about, if you want large canine fangs you can go with pretty much any wolf or wild dog. If you want feline, try the Smilodon, Dinictis,Chinese Machairodus, Eusmilus sicarius, or Cave Lion. Other than that try different species of bat, or even a Chinese Water Deer. Gorillas have pretty big teeth along with many old world monkeys and great apes. vampire snake wolf bat dog tiger werewolf
