Wild Boar v/s Jackal - Kabini

[Praveen Siddannavar]

On the second consecutive day we were lucky to spot the Jackals again and this time they were seen on the backwaters of river Kabini. It was quite early in the morning with lots of due on the grass as seen in the image, but it was amazing to watch the pair of Jackals (one seen in frame) challenge the huge Wild Boar. In no time we saw that the wild boar chased away the jackals. What a sighting this was, image is not that great though but thoroughly enjoyed this great natural history moment.

Good document. Its a show-game, no one is serious , the result is known to both as well as other mammals and birds in the forest before the match.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice moment witnessed. Jackals despite their intelligence won't be able to harm a healthy wildboar. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
