Watch this spot for the wolves, because that what the sanctuary is all about.

Jackals
I took these pictures of a Black Backed Jackal at the Wolf Sanctuary near Knysna this weekend. These pictures can be considered a follow up to my Wednesday ABC post on Jackals, as I only had pictures of their pelts then. They may be regarded as vermin but I like them - they have character.
Enjoying the sunshine.

Wonderful capture. All the animals are needed for balance. They may be a pest but I think their coats are beautiful.
They are beautiful animals! Reminds me of a fox.
oh how lucky you are...i luv your posts and photos max..they allow me to be an armchair traveler to someplace i would luv to someday really visit...
Wow these are very cool photos. Are these behind the fence, if not are they dangerous? Very nice photographs. Anna :)
They're really beautiful!
They have a cuteness that shines through, I look forward to seeing the wolves.
Hi photowannabe thanks for comment. Their coats have a very fine soft fur
Hi Kerry, thanks for stopping in and your comments. I think they are delightful animals - but then I am not a sheep farmer.
Glad you enjoy them Karoline. I must say that in my pre-blogging days I found it frustrating having all these photos and not being able to share them.
South Africa is well worth a visit, there is so much variety packed into this country
Hi Anna, these were in an enclosure. They are only dangerous if you happen to be their prey. Fortunately they are shy of humans. However, a rabid jackal can be dangerous, as it loses all fear and will attack, but that is the exception.
Hi Jenty glad you enjoy them.
Hi Tom, don't be decieved by the cute looks. They can be quite nasty little fellows when they set their minds to it - I have seen what they can do first hand. But then they are predators, doing what predators do. I have just develop a soft spot for them.
The wolves will appear soon
