[Features of the aggressive behavior of victorious mice in inter-male interactions]

Latency of the first attack, number of attacks and total attacking time in aggressive male C57BL/6J strain mice were studied during agonistic interactions with submissive mice which had a great defeat experience. Then, aggressive mice were placed together in order to find out which will be the winner in each pair. It has been shown that males with a shorter latency of the first attack and greater total attacking time gained the victory.
