Jackal in GRK

[Mrudul Godbole]

Photographed this in the Greater Rann of Kutch. Didn't see many jackals in the day time. It is sad to see that these jackals are even challenged by feral dogs and lose out. The wild boars also chase away the jackals. The related short film "Scavengers" can be seen here -

Nice pic Mrudul.like the display of the habitat. The video on scavengers in turn has some very nice moments .I liked the one where the jackal tries to dominate the boars the best.

Nice image and short film. Indeed the jackals have a lot at stake with the dogs challenging them. Thanks for sharing.
