I don't have a strong opinion on this one, but think the two critters were running in the same way (gait, speed), so this makes sense to me.. i think jackals run differently than impala.. on the other hand, I have seen jackals chased and be chased by everything lately, so nothing would surprise me..

I won't even hazard a blobguess for this one, except to agree that it looks a little bigger than a mongoose, and doesn't move like one either.. I wish these animals would come down to the WH and pose for us

was that a jackal near the wh then

something bothering the birds???? :shock:

I didn't see the one yesterday, but the day before I recorded an impala chasing a jackal. It was right after the ground hornbills ran him off. LOL Yesterday, the jackal harrassed the ground hornbills again but I must have missed the impala chase.

I agree, it did look bigger. There is one SSJackal I've seen that is bigger, quite long of leg. Have no idea if it was him or not. I just wanted to mention that an impala has chased a jackal before, several of us saw it yeaterday. No filmers tho.

Thanks Grannycat and Sabine! I thought maybe jackal too grannycat but this looked bigger.

Thanks, the coloring looked different to me and the profile. Could have been an older one chasing off a young one. At first I thought maybe the first one was a young wildebeest.

Hi Aquila, thanks for posting this. I did not see it live, but my take on this is a territorial impala ram chasing a younger ram that may have been infringing upon his female herd. (or just felt threatened by the presence of the younger ram)
