Jackal Photos
Picture by Bruce Whittaker,

The jackal photos here were taken by me in the Kruger National Park in South
Africa early one misty May morning.
This animal makes a living by scavenging and he had just finished
an egg breakfast when I snapped the
pictures. He scampered off into the bush
soon after.
Animal Info
Jackals are monogamous and will
only have one mate for life. Both male and female will take part in the marking
of the territory. They are capable of living up to thirteen years but normally only make it to six or
seven in the wild. They
give birth to 3-8 young but have an average litter of four young born after a
gestation period of approximately two months.
The individual here was
probably marking territory too while
searching for a meal.
