I've seen a couple of Black-Backed Jackal while traveling through the farmland going from Cannon Rocks towards the Alexandria section of the Woody Cape. However, I was still glad to finally get a photograph of one inside the nature reserve.

Unfortunately it didn't hang around for long. This is the best photograph I got.
To make up for the lack of Canine images I'll indulge myself and post a few photographs of our dogs enjoying the holiday instead :)

Mushu might have the same enthusiasm as Scout, but he doesn't have the same endurance... |

Ahhh nothing better than a siesta after a long day on the beach... |
Now, with that out of my system I'll be able to dedicate the next post to the two new faces that showed up on the cameras.
Nothing happier than a dog on the beach!
ReplyDeleteI like the colours on that jackal too.
Thanks Jeremy. I wish it wasn't blurred though. Maybe if it was taken by the old Cuddeback Capture it would have been better. This was with the newer Cuddeback Attack...
