for canon info as to why they fight >> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15785588/

Mango(red) and Shade(purple) are in the middle of a battle to determine if shade will be able to court my female willow. as per the species it is usually the father whom the potential mate must fight but because willow was adopted into mango's family and he is the only male(his father past away when he was young) he is taking his place and fighting shade. Mango is not normally the fighting type though is need be he can and will fight. Mango himself has taken on a bull or two out of misunderstandings and survived (mostly due to knowing them personally and explaining the misunderstanding while defending himself). the outcome of this battle ends with mango sparing shades life due to the pleading of his sister and because shade puts up a decent fight allows him to be with willow
