Jackals punch way above their weight. Gazelle and impala fawns form an integral part of their diet but take some catching as their parents are often hugely territorial. Jackie has caught the moment when the fawn leaps in one last despairing dive to evade the predator. This is not an easy moment, neither target is particularly large nor is the light great but it is sharp and captures the balletic ability of an animal only a few days old. A superb wildlife shot. I’ll be honest here, I was there and got nothing like this!
