Bourne Supremacy 
Rowell C. Tuquib

  
               Our earth however huge and vast is never enough for creatures to settle and be contented. A sustained struggle for supremacy perpetually exists. This may happen among species of similar and of different kind. This is a fight not basically for existence but for power.
                Every animal strive for its own niche were it can abundantly consume and utilize all the necessary resources available. In many mammals for instance, male usually fight for territory in order to posses females to be made as mates for breeding. Further, a territory is worth the fight if it is to extensively fill with various kinds of food vital to sustain the conqueror’s life as well as the might-be-new born. This is why sea lions and fur seeds fight over a patch of beach.
                In a single pack, it is almost impossible for species that shows the possession of the greatest force among the members. Hence, lessen the entire lesser and least strong yield to him. This social organization lessen squabbling against member of the packs since it is already well- defined who gets the choice of mates or the best food. The mechanism by which this could happen is through fighting. Every species has to prove that it dominates. Hence, muntjack slash at each other with their tusk. Bosons push match and force their opponents vigorously backward. White-tailed deer lock antlers together wrestle until one deer is unbalanced.
                Fights however don’t signify killing. These may only be ritual trials of strength. In case of giving in, animals usually shows signal to avoid the risk of serious injury. In a dog fight for instance, presents his throat to a rival or rolls over. Then accepts the victor as boast.
                To be supreme and feared by many is not only a human fashion but animals’ as well. Becoming so much powerful over a territory grants a comfortable and easy life. This might cost a fight. But to be empowered right after is more than benefits.
