Jackal

Pench Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh, 30 Apr 2006

One always gets into a funny situation when you are driving on the game track and this animal is walking towards you. Initially the animal is oblivious of your presence and keeps coming towards you. When the jeep gets into its comfort zone, they animals almost stop, look up at you and then decide what to do. Some turn back and some like this jackal, get off the road, take a slight detour and get back on to the road on the other side of the jeep.
