The Jackals menu of the Kalahari

In the beginning of the last century settlers introduced lamb to the jackal’s menu of the Kalahari. They then went on to spend the following decades engineering ever evolving strategies aimed at eradicating this cunning and clever opportunist from “his savannah” or “their farms”.

And yet, the scavenger known to eat almost anything, still scuttles and skulks about as ever, still looking for the perfect chance to steal a meal.

On Kuzikus we surely grant the jackal the ultimate accolade as Africa’s most opportunistic omnivore, quickly adapting to overcome any new challenge.

“Adaptability expands the capacity to handle change, no matter how serious it might be. Instead of throwing away energy trying to change the circumstance, change right from within, thus making you thrive in whatever situation you find yourself”Adapt alongside wildlife at a waterhole.
