Food fight

Yesterday I saw a jackal and a tawny eagle square off for some meat.

The jackal was eating what appeared to be a baby Thomson's gazelle head and the eagle was sitting nearby observing at first. Apparently the eagle got tired of waiting and decided to make a move.

An eagle would normally not be so aggressive in going after a jackal's meal, and this was an unsuccessful attempt. After a couple fly-overs, the eagle landed on a tree and just watched as the jackal finished. Then both took off into the distance.
