The jackal attack

Kapama Ranger Blog

On our way back to the lodge after a wonderful morning game drive ,all the guests were tired and looked forward to have a decent breakfast,
When we stumbled onto a black back jackal that were busy attacking a white back vulture
He pinned it down by holding onto the leftwing .the vulture was biting with its huge beak but without any success,
After about 20min the jackal got the upper hand and killed the vulture by choking it by the throat.a very nice sighting before ending the morning game drive.
