The Lonely Jackal...
“Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope.”
Quote by: Herman Melville
I caught some photo's of this lonely jackal when travelled through Northern Cape about 2 years back. I am not sure if there were any other hiding somewhere as I only saw this one walking by himself. It was about mid day and the sun scorching hot.
I am not 100% sure what the type of Jackal this is called in English, but in Afrikaans it's called "Rooi Jakkals".
I really like Jackals, since they very closely related to dogs.
They might not be a very big or strong animal, but what they lack in brute force and strength, they make in street smarts.
Enjoy the rest of the photos and feel free to drop a comment with feedback or advise on how I can improve.
Wishing you all the best for the week ahead.
These are some my older photos taken with an Canon EOS 600D Digital Camera and uploaded to my Imgur.com Lonely Jackal album.
