The jackals rely on speed and agility. These jackals are fast. One dove lags behind. A lucky escape. Now another opportunity… A flock of guinea fowl. It’s the breeding season, and they are distracted by the competition to find a mate. A deadly mistake. A hard-earned prize. But this meal will be shared. These jackals are part of a family… and there are some new arrivals. At around six weeks old, these pups are beginning to feed on solids. Black-backed jackals often live in close-knit family groups, where everyone has a part to play. Last year’s pups still live with their parents, and help to provide for their younger siblings. And together… use their extraordinary skill and agility to feed the pups throughout the toughest times. Giving them… the best start in life.
