Gopherus polyphemus
Two Gopher Tortoises where fighting. Once the fight ended, the winner headed off. The loser was turned right side up. Ironically he headed in the same direction that the winner headed.
Southern pine flat woods w/ saw palmetto dotting the terrain. In addition, there was a small road of a County Nature Preserve running along side where the two where facing off. Oblivious to any vehicles, they continued their dual until one was flipped on it back.
