Head to head by Miquel Angel Artús Illana, Spain. The spectacle of two female muskoxen attacking each other surprised Miquel. For four days, he had been following a muskox family in Norway’s Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella national park – a male, a female and three calves. On a high plateau, another similar-sized family of muskox appeared. Expecting a male head to head (it was September and the females were in heat), he was disappointed when the two males came to an understanding and the weaker one backed off. It was then that the two females began a short but intense fight. (Photo by Miquel Angel Artús Illana/Wildlife Photographer of the Year)
