Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This fight is an example of intrasexual selection, which refers to competition between members of the same sex (in this case, male deer) for access to mates. The winner of the fight is more likely to mate with the nearby female deer, increasing his chances of passing on his genes to the next generation.
