Jackals: cunning predator
S1 • E19 Jul 1, 2008
A small, wily and cunning predator the black backed jackal is a small force to be reckoned with. He is a master scavenger and regularly piggy backs off kills made by larger predators although he is capable of making his own small kills when times are tough. When a kill has been made the jackal sounds the alarm and alerts other predators to the site. The more predators there are the easier it is for the jackal to sneak in and grab a mouthful.
