Even smaller kills are spectacular

It doesn’t have to be a lion kill, or a leopard kill. Chad and his guests witnessed a live kill of a jackal on a Guinea fowl right in front of them yesterday. The jackal was slowly approaching the bird, and leapt onto it, and it was his within seconds. Animal kills are usually very fast events, in fact it only takes fractions of a moment most of the times.

Many think that jackals are pure scavengers. Far from it! They are very good hunters, and a lot of small prey is on their menu.

Jackal just killed the guinea fowl!
