What was to follow was one of my best sightings of jackal pups! Out in the open, no more than 30 feet from the vehicle, five pups came out to suckle from the female. After suckling for a few minutes the pups moved towards her mouth and by mouthing and pawing her managed to get her to regurgitate some meat for them. After a brief feeding frenzy they all settled down and started to make their way back to the den. --- Africa Geographic
