jackal shadow

D3 200-400mm lens.

This carcass is of a white rhino bull which was killed in a territorial dispute.This was the second morning and there was not a lot left... the spotted hyena were very weary as lions were nearby. The jackal took advantage of this ...

Wonderful story being told Peter. That light and thus the shadow are extraordinary. WD!

Incredible to experience nature as it truly is. Love the caption and lovely lighting in this image Peter. Thanks for sharing.

Peter,

The full shadow shows both a good eye and attention to detail on your part.

Best,

Chas

What an interesting image, you could spend a while finding things. What's with the jackals back, missing the fur?
