Eagle & 2 Jackals Hunt the Same Buck [VIDEO]

Incredible footage captures the moment an eagle and two jackals were filmed hunting the same antelope. The footage shows the massive eagle swooping down on the buck while jackals later are seen in hot pursuit. Watch:

33-year-old field guide, Shaun Etsebeth caught this incredible chase on video during a safari in Kruger National Park, South Africa. Here’s how he described the sighting:

“We were on a drive when we spotted a tawny eagle up in a tree. We stopped for a minute when the eagle suddenly dove and started chasing after a steenbok in the grass.”

“It was surprising enough to see the eagle hunt such large prey, and I was lucky to have been able to catch this on video – as the action was very short-lived. It wasn’t long before we noticed movement from another direction, when two black-backed jackals entered the frame out of nowhere!”

“Even though this was a short chase, and neither the jackals nor the eagle managed to catch the steenbok, this was a first-time sighting for me. The steenbok managed to outrun both predators and survived to live another day.”
