The last few days after this fight, one male has been digging a lot outside his cave,and today i used a torch to look inside the cave, and there was one more zebra further inside,the male was blocking the entrance.I do not believe this is the challenger involved in the videotaped fight.

The cave is the one in the pictrues below,which i have made myself.

I will also point out that this male was involved in a fight 3-4 weeks ago, and we now see that his black strips has connected.All of my zebra's had straight lines when purchased, and not connected like we see in this pictures.

Sorry Sharko I'm a bit late on this one but your video is a real eye opener. I have witnessed aggression between competing male zebras but never anything to that extent. Just a thought but those two males seem to be quite evenly matched, if you ever decide to create another colony you should be good to go :wink: .
