   This AWC was seriously being harassed by two jackals. I'm not sure if she had kittens there, but the jackals were trying to get into the bush, and she would chase them away everytime. We sat there for ages till the jackals moved off, but the AWC never left the spot, and later moved into the bush herself. Unfortunately we could never see if there were little ones around. It was a great sighting none the less.... |

  Be that as it may, on this particular morning I encountered a solitary black-backed jackal busily searching for food in an open grassy area alongside the Savuti channel. After systematically checking a series of rodent holes in the ground without success, the jackal entered a patch of tall grass. The next moment a commotion ensued within and two animals flew out of the grass at top speed. The jackal had startled an African wild cat that had been hiding and it was now in full pursuit of the wild cat. Although these cats are not necessarily built for prolonged high-speed chases, this individual was giving a good demonstration of just how fast they can sprint when they have to. The cat headed for a dead tree which was a good 50 metres away. The jackal was faster, though, and was almost on the cat’s tail when it reached the tree. Without hesitation the wild cat went straight to the top of the tree. The jackal raced up the lowest branches, and made as if it was going to climb the rest of the way. The cat ignored this bluff, so the jackal tried another tactic. It jumped off the base of the tree and walked around sniffing scents here and there. Then it wandered away as though it had lost interest. Immediately the cat saw this as its opportunity and raced down and out of the tree, and away across the short grass. This time it headed directly for safety in the form of the sheltering, dense vegetation that marks the edges of the old channel. The jackal, however, had only been feigning its lack of interest and it was instantly in full pursuit, and gaining once again. The last I saw of them was as they disappeared into a bright green Kalahari star-apple bush. I thought about trying to drive closer to see what had happened, but there was no need. Moments later the jackal came sauntering out of the bushes, looking very casual, almost as if to say, ‘I wasn’t really trying to catch that cat anyway.’ I never worked out whether the jackal was just chasing off a competitor for food *or* actually trying to catch the wild cat as prey. It was definitely an interesting morning out on the channel. |

Jackal killing Common Langur Indian Jackal with langur kill  Here's a jackal pulling a langur kill away. The Jackal was extremely wary of us, so we decided to leave it alone and let it have its meal and moved on. The light was patchy and extremely tricky as you would expect at around 3:30 on a summer afternoon. golden Jackal hunts Sambar fawn

This thread needs to be split on taxonomic lines. I notice BBJs and GJs lumped together, despite the fact that GJs are actually more closely related to coyotes and wolves than they are to the BBJ and SSJ. Indeed, the genetic distance between GJs and BB/SSJs is higher than that between GJs and BB/SSJs. Coyotes and grey wolves have their own pictorials, why can't the GJ? |
