00:00 The animal world around us is so vast and interesting.
00:09 In order to survive and maintain the species, the animals cannot avoid the attacks and fight
00:14 to the death for life.
00:23 There are many interesting battles between different animals, but today, let's learn
00:28 about the jackal's antelope attacks.
00:31 Let's see how jackals attack and defeat their prey.
00:40 Jackals attack antelope and eat it alive.
00:46 A survival rule of wild nature, the strong always prevail.
00:52 It's not that the stronger ones are always large-sized animals, but there can be smaller
00:57 sized ones too.
00:59 It is the harshness of the environment that has created the ultimate hunting machines
01:13 that make anyone who witnessed their spectacular hunting displays admire.
01:18 They are jackals, an animal with extremely effective hunting tactics and unique survival
01:25 tricks.
01:29 Jackals are the name of some species of animal belonging to the dog genus.
01:35 Normally limited to three species, jackals blackback and sidestriped jackal of the area
01:40 sub-saharan and the jackals yellow feathers of the Eurasian continent.
01:48 Blackback and sidestriped jackals are more closely related to each other than the yellow
01:52 jackals which are more closely related to wolves, coyotes and domestic dogs.
02:00 According to research, jackals have long legs as well as their legs are perfect for hunting
02:08 and their large feet and fused leg bones give them an extremely good shape suitable for
02:13 long distance running without losing strength.
02:20 They can run at a speed of 16 km/h for a very long time.
02:25 They are most active at dawn or at dusk.
02:33 Jackals establish territorial boundaries with feces and are ready to fiercely attack unknown
02:38 intruders.
02:44 This part of the territory is large enough for the young adults to temporarily live with
02:48 their parents before they go out on their own.
02:55 Jackals sometimes also gather in small groups but they often hunt alone or in pairs.
03:04 Despite being small, jackals can confidently hunt prey many times larger than their body
03:09 size.
03:15 In addition, they also dare to recklessly compete for food of other species when the
03:21 opportunity arises.
03:30 Jackals have an extremely diverse food source.
03:33 The jackals diet is small mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and even medium sized animals.
03:40 They make use of all sources of food to survive and most often they also follow large predators
03:46 to eat leftover pieces of meat.
03:50 Even jackals that can eat corpses.
03:53 In particular, they love to hunt and eat antelope immediately after catching it.
04:02 As opportunistic predators, they do not miss out on lucrative prey like antelope.
04:08 Jackals when hunting will often run around their prey and attract their attention.
04:14 It waits for the prey to be distracted and dizzy and then attacks.
04:19 Jackals usually live in pairs and hunt together or they may have several members hunting with
04:25 them.
04:26 For jackals, hunting in groups will bring the most efficiency and can easily defeat
04:31 the prey quickly.
04:34 All of them work together in harmony to trick their prey.
04:37 Like wild dogs, jackals also use the strategy of encircling and distracting their prey and
04:43 then attacking from all sides, leaving the prey exhausted.
04:51 Nature has endowed long legs and curved fangs to adapt when hunting.
04:56 In particular, the jackal's strong teeth can cut very tough meat with powerful bites.
05:02 So any prey, including antelope, when bitten will be stunned and collapse.
05:09 Just waiting for this moment and the jackals quickly bite the animal even when it's still
05:14 alive.
05:16 According to the laws of nature, the poor animal when collapsed can only painfully watch
05:23 the enemy eat itself alive.
05:25 We can all feel the desperate agony in the poor animal's eyes.
05:30 They are all animals that are watched by predators and can be in danger anywhere.
05:37 Animals in a weak position always have to be afraid, wary and at any time their lives
05:43 can be threatened by bloodthirsty, ruthless predators.
05:49 That is to say, survival is not an easy thing for all animals.
05:55 Especially for animals in a weaker position, because they will face many difficulties when
06:02 hungry predators are always waiting for an opportunity to take their lives at any time.
06:10 The harshness and dangers of nature have always existed.
06:15 True to its name, wild nature, there is no definition for altruism.
06:25 Animals from gentle to ferocious, from herbivores to carnivores, from prey to hunters must always
06:31 be prepared to fight at every moment.
06:34 Because just a moment of carelessness is needed, any animal can become bait for other predators,
06:40 become the target of others and be hunted by others.
