Jackals on the kill

Jackal fighting on the kill remains, instead of actual fighting they are just displaying the arsenal.
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views!

Terrific documentation of jackal behaviour :toast: :toast: :toast:

The light looks great and the eyes and jaws catch all the attention. Looks a little grainy though which is surprising given the low iso. May be something went wrong during processing/compression.

Hi Jagdeep,

I quite like this one - no doubt where my eyes went first but the inclusion of the rib cage works really well for me (it's a great "contextual" element). Also really like the colour here - particularly how the foreground and background colours work together. This one works well for me!

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Great job of showing canid pack behavior. Those are impressive teeth.

This one really stands out, even at thumbnail size. Top drawer work!

Thanks friends!
Jackals live in packs and they are not averse to scavenging.
