Two male marmots were spotted Wednesday picking up an epic fight over a female counterpart in northwest China's Gansu Province.
The macho fight took place on a mountain village road in Sunan, a county located on the provincial border with Qinghai Province in the south.
One male marmot was seen to be wooing a smaller female, when a potential rival showed up and disrupted the happy couple.
The two males then took the fight to the middle of the road, where they stood on their hind legs and punched each other fiercely.
In the end, however, victory hung in the balance. The two mammals rushed off on hearing the sound of approaching vehicles.
With an improved ecological environment in Qilian Mountain, an increasing number of wild animals have been spotted in the area over the recent years.
