About this ebook
Black-backed jackals survive in Africa’s grasslands and deserts by being smart, quick, and bold. They will eat almost anything, from plants to the rotten flesh of dead animals. And they don’t hesitate to sneak up on feeding lions and other large predators to grab a share of their meals. Find out how black-backed jackals succeed and raise the next generation of scavengers.
