THE SILVER -BACKED JACKALS.
On an early morning game –drive, ranger Jaffery came upon some two silver-backed jackals on the road. Usually on wet days they would spent most of their time in the open grounds and especially if the grass is higher to avoid getting wet and also to have a good view of the surroundings. Having very small mouths and also being very much light-weight, they would go for smaller prey like hares and baby Thomson gazelles but would also scavenge on lion kill sites.
