why is it that almost all SAN Parks guides describe jackals as to mainly eat carrion? according to Smithers' "Mammals in South Africa" during a research (not specified when and where) carrion was only found in 25 - 37 % of the tested stomachs? Or am I missing something here?

Hey, ice!

I think a lot depends upon the jackal's locality...

For example, jackals outside a Park would find very little carrion, while those in lion areas would find more, and most certainly do head straight for kills!

They are very adaptable! :P

These are very rare shots, IMHO, taken at Crooks' Corner, Pafuri, Oct. 2009

Note the strangely shaggy appearance for a Kruger jackal...

In this not to little video, you see the Black backed Jackels that I saw last year in KTP and the two Jackels that had stolen the prey [Bat eared Fox] of a Caracal and the Caracal came back to collect his prey again. :wink:

Found this youngster close to Mlondozi. It looks like he is used to being fed as he runs from vehicle to vehicle and then pauses right next to the driver. :shock:
