Unhurt: Although it looks painful, the cows survive the experience. The Surma value their cows too much to kill them unless it is a very special occasion

Gory: Once drained, the men are expected to drink the bowl of blood in one go and before it coagulates, as the Surma believe it to be full of useful vitamins

Naked ambition: Warriors always fight naked in a bid to show how tough they are and prove that they have no need for armour. As a result, many get hurt

Winner: As well as being allowed the pick of the girls, men who triumph in donga fights are considered heroes by the rest of the village and the wider tribe

Choice: Winning men can pick any girl they like by pointing their stick at her. Although women don't have to accept, it is considered a great honour to be chosen
