Jackals snatch the birds after three failed attempts

Black-backed jackals lie around the pond, waiting for the birds to drink and attack.

A resident recorded the process of black-backed jackals hunting in Kgalagadi Park, Africa, on November 21, according to Newsflare. This animal has the ability to adapt to survive in many harsh environments. They are resourceful hunters with unique hunting methods.

The jackal will aim at one and suddenly rush to catch.

Black-backed jackals find that birds often gather around water ponds in the morning and afternoon, so they think of ways to take advantage. "We spent about an hour watching the jackals catch birds by the pond. It was in the shade nearby, showing that he was just resting. When the birds gathered enough, it stood up and slowly approached. , cameraman said.

Most of the birds come here are pigeons and Pteroclididae . These birds are most vulnerable to attack while drinking water. The jackal will aim at one and suddenly rush to catch. The hunter went three times but missed because the prey flew up.

Jackal persevered for the fourth time and finally succeeded. He caught a dove, spared the shade and ate meat."This unique strategy has a success rate of 1/4. It's a rare and interesting sight , " the cameraman commented.
