In our late afternoon game drive, when the Fork-tailed Drongos are trying to get their last few insects for the day, we were looking for a nice spot for sundowners. Just before it got dark, we saw a black-backed jackal sniffing around at a termite mound that was being used as a warthog home. All of a sudden, the warthog jolted out at an alarming speed and hit the jackal. The poor jackal went flying into the air trying to avoid the tusks of the warthog. As soon as he reached the ground, he ran as fast as he could and did not look back.
