Destination Wild - 3x48 - Gangster Jackals- Followmy.tv

Threatened by the guns of Southern Africa’s farmers, some black-backed jackals have found a new shelter in a restricted and arid area: Namibia’s Skeleton Coast. Here, they adapt to a new lifestyle. They are learning to catch new coastal prey, and how to collaborate to catch bigger ones such as the fur seals. This requires cooperative hunting - a behavior rarely seen amongst these canids – and therefore social and communication skills. Some jackals succeed, other become scavengers, or die.
