Jackal

A few years ago the running track at TGT was closed due to an “incident with wildlife”.  At the time this was just a curiosity for me, but this week that event was brought back to mind when I was out for a morning run and came across this beautiful jackal.

I really wasn’t scared, but maybe a tad intimidated. I was certainly missing my running partner (who left me to move to Malawi – geez). 

This side-striped jackal was just trotting along in front of me and would occasionally stop and turn around to look at me. It didn’t seem menacing…more like “hey, you still following me?”.  Still enough to make me stop until he started going again and eventually trotted off. 

Fun way to start with morning.
