Jackal and Vulture Battle for Wildebeest Leg

German photographer Ingo Gerlach has captured a two-minute fight between a jackal and a vulture for the rights to feast upon a wildebeest leg in the Masai Mara in Kenya.

The jackal was carrying a wildebeest leg when the far larger vulture swooped down and tried to steal the leg from him. Incredibly, the jackal determined to defend his meal from the bird. He finally won the fight and ran off with the trophy.
