Black-backed jackals are among the most adaptable predators in Botswana’s Central Kalahari desert, thriving in one of Africa’s harshest environments through intelligence, speed, and opportunism. They patrol the grasslands for everything from insects and rodents to carrion left behind by larger predators. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 220mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/200th of a second.
I love this photo!! The lighting fading from bright on one side to softer shading on the other is beautiful, and only this lovely jackal is in focus. Chef’s kiss on this one!!
