Two Black backed jackal having a feast on the carcass of an Eland that was killed the previous night by lions in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

Here is a little more info on the jackal:

The jackal, a medium-sized carnivore with doglike features and a bushy tail, is widely distributed in Africa.

The three species of jackal in Africa are the golden or common jackal, the side striped jackal and the black-backed or silver-backed jackal.

The golden jackal is somewhat shorter and stockier, and the black-backed is the most slender and upstanding, with noticeably larger ears. Mainly, they differ in color and choice of habitat.

The black-backed jackal is usually the most frequently seen as it is more diurnal than the other two. When they live close to settled areas, however, black-backed jackals often confine most of their activities to nighttime.

Hope you enjoy this and thank you for your visit.

Regards,

BEn

Hi BEn,

I'm not quite sure if I love the scene, but hé these fellows have to eat as well.

Great capture. Quite difficult because all the colours are the same. You managed to capture all the different textures well to make it stand out.
