Trouble - Explored 04/07/13 #138

I debated on whether to show these images but it is what Africa is all about. The circle of life. if you have a weak stomach please don't view the third image. This all happened so suddenly. We were just about to leave this watering hole after viewing Zebras all lining up for a drink when this little springbok fell into the watering hole. A lone jackal sensed its vulnerability and started trying to grab it by its ear and biting its neck. It struggled in the water for a while before managing to get out but as it did it was all of sudden surrounded by 10 or more jackals who sensed that lunch was just about to be served. They started attacking it, but the springbok fought hard before it succumbed. You could hear its mother crying the whole time, it was so sad. BUT as I said its the circle of life and the survival of the fittest.
