Moo is now tiring and other stags are crowding in. Can he survive another day as top stag?

Simon King reports on another week's events at the red deer rut.  Moo is now tiring and other stags are crowding in.  Can he survive another day as top stag?

As the rut builds to a climax, the red deer stags turn black.  They wallow in peat bogs scented by their own urine, they roar through day and night, and they constantly patrol their hinds, keeping them close and checking for mating opportunities.  Moo is now tiring, and other stags including Rannoch are crowding in.  Can Moo survive another day?
