The Lonely Jackal...

“Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope.”
Quote by: Herman Melville


I caught some photo's of this lonely jackal when travelled through Northern Cape about 2 years back. I am not sure if there were any other hiding somewhere as I only saw this one walking by himself. It was about mid day and the sun scorching hot.

I am not 100% sure what the type of Jackal this is called in English, but in Afrikaans it's called "Rooi Jakkals".
I really like Jackals, since they very closely related to dogs.

They might not be a very big or strong animal, but what they lack in brute force and strength, they make in street smarts.

Enjoy the rest of the photos and feel free to drop a comment with feedback or advise on how I can improve.

Wishing you all the best for the week ahead.

These are some my older photos taken with an Canon EOS 600D Digital Camera and uploaded to my Imgur.com Lonely Jackal album.

wonderful job.i resteemed

I really appreciate the resteem and upvote, hope you have a great day.

lonely is very hard for every one i think.

I agree, but sometimes a little alone time can also do us good, but was with most things in life too much of something can also not be good.

Beautiful thanks for this!

Very nice. I am looking forward to visit South Africa again.

They are so beautiful cant believe the farmers kill them so much!

True, but the problem is the farmer also has to protect their livestock.

I think is probably a no win situation.

Hanging on to pictures I hide
Like a secret to myself
As you appear there with your egyptian eyes
There is no-one else

Yes, your face came out of the unknown
When my dream was visualized
I feel like drifting with my love
But nowhere is paradise

Night after night you keep me lonely
So much left to feel, yeah
Night after night you are the one
That I pretend is for real

Your shape’s bend in colours
But nothing is really what it seems
I’m aware of this stupid lie
Made up in my dreams

Through the years I earned my wisdom
Things always came always to an end
But I wipe away my tears
I don’t want to feel afraid
