Black Backed Jackal Portrait

As we drove into Ol Pejeta Conservancy near Mount Kenya, we found the carcass of a zebra that had been killed by lions. Next to the carcass, we spotted this jackal who was very interested by the meat but the lions were still nearby. As I was at eye level with it, I took a series of pictures.
