Elephants compete for resources like any other animal. If food is scarce, those who are best at foraging are more likely to survive. Strong, healthy males are more likely to succeed at mating.

Males may compete by fighting, charging each other and spearing their tusks and weight. Though this is rare. Elephants do not enjoy fighting. They only do if they are provoked badly.

Elephants typically travel about thirty to fifty miles a day. They eat large amounts of food, so they travel to search for food and socialize with their herds.

Elephants normally fight rhinos, because they grew up without role models. Young elephants are the ones that would normally fight with rhinos.
