Blackbacked Jackal Having a Feast

I regard the following Blackbacked Jackal sighting the best that I have had in the park.
Soon after entering the park I came upon this jackal that was feasting on the fresh kudu remains of an overnight kill.
I was the only person there and sat quietly and soon the jackal settled down after first showing some nervousness to my presence.

Here are some of the pics I took.

Here is a slideshow of my pics.



Here is a short video I took.

Good sighting Ronnie.

We saw this Jackal...also yesterday. My friend, Trevor, took these pictures from the passenger window of my Bakkie.

The search...

The pounce...

The catch...
