Donovan Piketh found himself in the middle of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park watching this rare sight, he shared the footage and story with LatestSightings.com.
“Driving in the sand-swept roads of the Kgalagadi is always exciting. The sheer density of predators in this vast landscape makes for some very intense game viewing. I was on my morning drive, searching for any signs of life when I saw figures in the distance. The excitement grew what could it be!”
“It was a pair of jackals, a very common sight in the Kgalagadi. However, this was no ordinary sighting. The jackals were not alone, they had successfully caught a little cape fox. The unlucky fox was perhaps caught returning to its burrow in the early hours of the morning when the jackals caught it.”
The Cape Fox is a small and interesting mammal with reddish-brown fur. It can survive in different
environments and is good at hunting small animals and birds. Cape Foxes usually live alone but can be found communicating with other cape foxes.
“The fox obviously realized that there was no way it would be able to fight off the two jackals. So at this point stuck between the jaws of two jackals the fox tried playing dead. This worked for a second or two, but unfortunately for the fox, these jackals were alert.”
“After a short struggle, the jackals did the inevitable and killed the fox. It was hard to watch, but such is the circle of life. The tiny fox was ripped into two and the jackals were able to feast. Finishing off the small fox in a matter of minutes!”
When asked about advice for others embarking on similar safari adventures, Donovan shared a simple yet profound insight: “Turn the car off and enjoy.” Sometimes, in our eagerness to capture every moment, we forget to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the present. Taking the time to appreciate the sights, sounds, and fragrances of the wilderness allows us to forge a deeper connection with nature.

Dog eat dog world.
Poor fox 😢
That fox got my respect
It's so funny that people still say that humans are monsters,
although it is the animals that eat each other alive every day without any mercy or remorse,
which humans themselves just don't do and can't even imagine because it's oh so horrible.
Yes, we humans also eat other creatures, but at least we kill everything quickly and painlessly before eating to keep the suffering as small as possible.
Animals don't even try to please anyone or anything.
So who are the monsters now?
These guys are trying to kill their own cousin
African wild dogs could really show those jackals a thing or two on how to utterly decimate live prey.
This would have been the perfect opportunity for a cheetah to assert dominance as the top predator. On second thought, the jackals and fox might have turned the table and chase the cheetah away.
Till today I thought jackal and fox as interchangeable term
Nooo 😢😭😭
humans arnt any different. They’re just honest.
this dog on dog crimes haha i just can't haha
Now this was very unexpected. You don't usually see Jackals in action performing like this at all. That Fox never stood a chance. My goodness…
Jesus Christ is Lord! ✝️
I see them here (in London Uk) every night😂 & I cant imagine them getting torn apart like this so for that reason I was rooting for the fox coz thats my neighbour!! He would have had a better life here in the UK instead of the jungle 😅 He went out like a real soldier. 2 bigger opponents and he still went down trying to attack with everything he had ✌🏾💯 RIP Fox 🦊
It's amazing how the fox still had the strength to stand up for a last fight after all that damage its taken. Huamns should be grateful that we live easy lives compared to wild animals.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬hizudfih
Promo_SM
How strong is they bite force? It seem kind of weak when its 2v1 and they sometimes was pulling together 😂
The African wild dogs would’ve finished the fox in half that time
This is like cannibalism.Foxes are their closest relatives
Brave little fox 🦊🦊
If Allu arjun sees this, he will never visit Kruger Nation park🥲
insert generic “dog eat dog world” comment
Canines
Nature can be both awe-inspiring and brutal. In a distressing encounter, jackals may engage in a fierce battle with a fox. Despite the fox's valiant efforts to fight back, the jackals' strength and pack mentality prevail, resulting in a heartbreaking outcome
Seeing Jackals hunt isn't common sight.
How in hell alleged humans can watch and/or film this shit without trying to save the victims is beyond me. Makes me wish The Stand would come true. Heartless humans deserve it.
This is amazing!
Don't put these torture videos up!
Good luck doing that to an alpha wolf.
Nie to wszystko mądrze jest stworzone,w szoku żadne stworzenie bólu nie czuje.Wypadki np..tez…ludzie nic nie pamiętają…dopiero jak szok minie ale przecież zwierzę często łapie za szyję więc dochodzi w krótkim czasie do tego ..czyli konania
Do we have to see this kind of thing we all know how cruel nature can be 😢
"A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal."
– Gray Fox
Was the fox's name Bismarck? Look up the Sabaton song.
I clearly understand this is nature and that's what happens. But why the hell would you film this?
What kind of "warped twisted sadistic human" films a Fox being ripped apart by a couple Jackal's?
How would you like it if the roles were reversed and there were animals filming you being tortured and ripped apart by other human's?
Seriously it's people like you, are wrong with world "Sicko"….
how come no one is helping him , if that happens on my watch ill shoot those 2 and rescue that little fella and raise him.
I thought they where cousins of some sort 😂😂
Oh wow I thought jackals were way smaller. Kinda crazy to see them eat another predator like that thought that was pretty rare.
Looks like two bullies in school you always had a problem with only because you were smaller.
Think how many family pets it ripped apart. Karma came to visit
Fox's strategy failed……his strategy was to play dead and escape…
i don't like to share that video😢😢😢😢
