00:07 Savannah is a dangerous place.
00:10 It's eat or be eaten.
00:13 [music]
00:14 Many who don't eat will succumb to the harsh conditions long before catching anything.
00:19 The fittest survive.
00:21 And this jackal only seems aggressive if you are prey.
00:25 [music]
00:27 These gazelles live on high alert at all times and are ready to run at a moment's notice.
00:32 [music]
00:35 It's life or death.
00:37 Whoever can outrun the other wins.
00:39 [music]
00:45 The hungrier they are, the less focused.
00:48 Just like humans in that respect.
00:50 [music]
00:56 Luckily for the jackals, they win the meal.
00:59 Even though the mother had tried to save her baby, but to no avail.
01:03 [music]
01:07 But this baby impala is too small to satiate the stomachs of jackals.
01:11 And here begins the real struggle to seek a bigger meal among the adults.
01:16 [music]
01:18 A bigger meal means a greater risk.
01:21 [music]
01:23 A precise attack of its horns could kill one of them.
01:27 [music]
01:42 After they managed to eviscerate her, her death became inevitable.
01:46 [music]
01:48 There are more jackals than available meals.
01:51 [music]
01:54 While often prey in their surroundings, wildebeest have immense power on their sides.
01:59 However, that power only means something if they're prepared to use it.
02:04 [music]
02:06 Slowly the jackal creeps up on its unsuspecting prey.
02:10 Its mother isn't looking.
02:12 So this is prime real estate.
02:15 He takes a bite, only to be quickly scared off.
02:18 [music]
02:20 When the wildebeest turns her back once more, he goes in for a second and a third.
02:25 [music]
02:27 He tears into it with a purpose.
02:29 Eats as much as he can before he's in danger.
02:32 [music]
02:34 An angry wildebeest is no joke, but neither is starvation.
02:38 Before she has a chance to stop him, the foal is gone.
02:42 And the jackal's belly is just a little more full.
02:46 Without the help of the mother, unfortunately, the calf still does not have enough strength to defend itself.
