The oddest mating ritual you’ll watch today, guaranteed
Male mountain goats compete over mates by ramming each other with their horns. Many alpha mammals chase away lesser males. Human males wear Axe and posture in bars.

The first to puncture the other and deliver its semen payload wins. Be sure to check out the video.
