Shifting Den

This Golden Jackal had a den in the area, where a female tigress with three grown up male cubs was active. So this Jackal knew of the dangers ahead and decided to shift his den, he ran all the way between his dens and decided to shift the cubs, closer to human habitation, for the purpose of safety.

Great view of some unique behavior!

I’m a little thrown off by the strip of green on the right. Was that foreground vegetation, or is it added canvas? There’s sort of a strange transition to the more focused brown areas, especially where it touches the jackal, so I’m trying to wrap my head around the perspective here.

Amazing capture, Jagdeep. Such determination on the mother Jackal.

Stunning down-the-barrel view of an amazing moment!! Fantastic sharpness and detail! The poor little pup looks so helpless and cute, but I’m pretty sure his mommy is handling him carefully.

The area on the right does look a little odd. If it was an intentional blur in processing, I wonder if the opacity might be reduced a bit toward the left, irregularly??

Beautiful jackal and a beautiful moment you captured, Jagdeep! So is that the father who is moving the pups? Were there more than one? It’s so cute how the little one is just hanging there with the feet sticking out. Love it!

Thank you so much friends :pray:
@Max_Waugh it is added canvas, since Jackal was running fast, he almost touched the RHS of frame.

Nice capture of the jackal carrying the pup - a great moment! There seems to be a cloning artifact at the lower left - looks like fur from the jackal.

Jagdeep, Great shot with this jackal heading straight towards you carrying the pup.

I love the head-on view, Jagdeep. Technically perfect, as always.

The adult looks so serious and the pup is sooo cute and fuzzy. The way it’s little paws are sticking out is just adorable (ok, I know I’m anthropomorphizing this, but I can’t help it).
