A Jackal enjoying a fresh piece of Eland meat, while looking around, keeping an eye out for danger.

This was yet another Eland carcass in the Kalahari, and had been taken down by a large male Lion several hours earlier. The antelope have really suffered during the drought, with the Eland being easy pickings.
