About A jackal is a member of any of three (sometimes four) small to medium-sized species of the family Canidae, found in Africa, Asia and Southeastern Europe. Jackals fill a similar ecological niche to the coyote in North America, that of predators of small to medium-sized animals, scavengers, and omnivores. Their long legs and curved canine teeth are adapted for hunting small mammals, birds and reptiles. Big feet and fused leg bones give them a long-distance runner's physique, capable of maintaining speeds of 16km/h (10mph) (just over 6 min/mile) for extended periods of time. They are nocturnal, most active at dawn and dusk.

The Ancient Egyptian god of embalming and the underworld, Anubis, was depicted as a man with a jackal's head.

Not looking too well and me being not

Another wild animal that has to survive.
Shot is in beautiful earth color tones with edge contrasts.
Tomorrow I will post one from Namibia as well OK?
Hope you are doing well, visiting the airport last weekend but not flying yet. Another week for preparation.
