4 Jackals confront an African Wild Cat and her baby | Extremely rare | Kruger National Park

- In January of 2018, we encountered a very interesting and unique sighting. Four jackals had surrounded an African Wild Cat mother and her baby. This standoff continued for a few minutes until the mother ran away from her baby. We believe she did this to distract the jackals and protect her baby. The baby then crawled under the bush as shown in the video and was safe from the jackals. The jackals then eventually gave up and carried on into the bush.
Taken in the Kruger National Park Reserve South Africa.

Jackal: "Oh look a cute little kitten all alone, let me go grab my iPhone, this is going on Instagram"
Typical feline behaviour. The mother always tries to run away from the danger working as a decoy to scatter the other predators away from their cubs. Lionesses even do it with elephants, cape buffalos, hyenas, and trespassing male lions.
Unreal footage, this is so rare
The kitten is damn sure no one is gonna hurt him when his hero mom is around.
Hero mom that ran away? Lol
@@davidandrew6347 She was chased off by three jackals
Only JESUS CHRIST can save your soul from the flames of hell!

This encounter was more about the animals being disturbed by the camera people than a natural interaction.
Cat: u better stay away from my baby
The kitty is royalty, jackal knew better...
There is no such concept as royalty in nature. Thats bullshit.
Really surprised that the jackal didn't take the kitten.
@Mike Studmuffin For you maybe, not for the jackal for sure.When the predators are not really hungry and no meat to contest is around such non all out violent encounters do happen.
We don't know that, we don't see the rest of the footage
@Mike Studmuffin correct
@Mike Studmuffin it was trying to avoid being seen dummy
The people filming where not far enough to not cause fear to this animals.
In food chain, no one can beat Cat family.
Cat is looking so calm coz they knows how to make their opponents realise that they have chosen a wrong opponent.
Umm no. The cat bolted in fear. And left its kitten to die lol
@Tampered with in the booth Embrace old movie reel how do u know for sure thats what she did. It looked like to me she tried to slip away unnoticed. U cannot prove that that cat was trying to "lure them away" id say it panicked and ran. If it was trying to lure I would say it do much more to get their attention other than just slipping away silently thru the under growth.
David Andrew If you know how a cat would do, one of it they never leave their little ones behind. They’d find a way to lure the threats away from their babies so they can find a safe place to hide. That’s just the anatomy of a cat mom, no matter how big or small, they’d always react the same way.
@@GeorgiaAndrea true even the kitten could scare away jackal with the hishes.
@@davidandrew6347 a human being trying to make a cat think like a human being is bound to make the wrong inference from facts. The cat understands the ecosystem better than you do; she knows what works. And in this case, what she did worked. To say a cat will bolt away and abandon her kittens is contrary to the nature of pretty much every animal in existence. You are evidently not a mother; otherwise this won't have occurred to you. Only men can think like you do.
The cat was not panicked for an instance; because she knewshow to deal with the situation. And she did. Even the kitten understood what to do; hide. And that worked too. When the cats were just in the spot and "left" it in full vision of the jackals, their scent (the jackal's keenest sense)is of no use: too much white noise.
This is a good wildlife video illustrating the superiority of the cat's predatory instincts compared to all other mammals; which works both for offense and defense. If you want to really get into this, watch videos showing the confrontation between the bigger cats and their relatively smaller peers -- e.g. leopard v. cheetah, or Lion v. leopard.
Absolutely riveting !!!!
So this is the short video of the kitten getting gobbled up
I don't know if I'm watching an edited version but I don't see the ending plus I didn't see if the mother cat ran off leaving her kitten behind .
And that seem like a domestic cat which was put there just for video capturing to be uploaded on TH-cam for views, everything about this video makes no sense at all...
@@kquemob3573 African wildcats are the ancestors of domestic cats they are so similar you can’t even tell them apart until u see their behavior
Read the video description morons...
lmao there is a description section up there 👆
@@kquemob3573
They put a domesticated cat 🐱 in Kruger? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 have heard it all now. Some of you guys are sooo uneducated, I have seen comments like yours in videos like this, accusing people of “Putting” the wild animals there for TH-cam views. Yeah it’s not a very bright comment.
Umm..what?
This is amazing, but was also surprised they ran off and gave up. (*Secretly happy*)
@Uraang Utaan they kill pet dogs and cats all the time, it's weird they didn't snatch the kitten immediately
Ran off. Dont you see the jackal at the end
Me da coraje porque siempre me dejan con las ansias y los vídeos son muy cortos , pero en fin éxcelente vídeo
Es verdad, me pasa lo mismo 😕 al no saber que pasó con el gatito bebé...
That cat was such a coward running away and leaving her kitten unless it was a tactic to get the others except one to chase her.
You’re the real coward if that’s how you think. You won’t go far with that kind of mentality.
So you expect a wild cat which is the size of a domestic cat to fight off 2 jackals which is the equivalent of the American coyote. She wouldn't stand a chance against one let alone 2. I hope the cub got away she looked terrified.
@@dwanrobinson Jackals are equivalent to red Foxes wtf do you mean.
Jackals might considered Her as Lioness,😊😊👍👍👍
Not impossible. Jackal see a cat. Wtf. Maybe it's dangerous..? Jackals fear cats because they know big cats. Animals not always can estimate the size of their opponent.
I knew of Wild Dogs but never even thought of Cats.
There's a lot of wild cat..
This is the same species as the domestic cat.
The camera men were too close.....the distracted the real show
Sucks how you insert a photo over the kitten so I can no longer see the kitten.
Wild cat vs jackals wow
While watching this I have right now a "Domestic" cat who has just leaped up on to my shoulders/head and is now purring and beginning to dig her claws in a bit... I think she is still pretty wild, doesn't seem so domestic to me! These Wildcat's can readily interbreed with domestic cats with no decline in fertility so thay are pretty close to the same.
Jackal can eat those cats next time
@@joclive7086 Nah
The juice wasn't worth the squeeze for those jackals to mess with a grown-ass cat to get to the tasty kitten......
Amazing! I'm glad the kitten is safe.
Next time cat become meal
@@joclive7086 over my dead body
great tactics for sure!...
You corner any cat and they are the top killer
The cat wasn't cornered. Plus it ran away
So what happened to kitten?
If the mother didn't come back, that kittens chance of survival is pretty low.
If the mother didn't come back, the chances are about zero.
Did u keep the cat
Know who you are always
This wildcat was smart and cheated on the jackals, then returned to his kitten. He would have had a hard time defending the little one against the four of them. Herself easily, but in the meantime the kitten would have been in danger. In the end, we see that a single jackal dared not to attack the kitty. Maybe she was afraid the mom would come back suddenly, or because she wasn’t sure which one it was, the kid, or the adult.
Мыслю, оператор не стал выкладывать продолжение, чтобы не беспокоить жестокой сценой. Всё таки, это могут посмотреть и дети.
I thought the jackal was gona tear up that kitten..Bummer
The origin of all house cats.
True
Lol no
@@chatNICK69 Yes it really is and you can sort of see it in 'African Wild Cats'. House cats have not morphed near as much as dogs which is one of the things I like about 'em....much more "natural", less manmade.
@@Mrbfgray they really are not completely domesticated or ever will be, but domestic house cats don't entirely origin from the African wild cat. There are many more wild cat species around the globe so it would be logical to think that every continent has it's own wild cats that led do domestication of modern day's house cats/feral cats. How would you explain the cats on the European ships way before Africa was even discovered?
@@chatNICK69 There weren't cat's that size or shape anywhere else and house cats clearly are all of the same linage. Africa was "discovered" many times over the last couple hundred thousand yrs. Multiple human species moved in all directions for at least 300,000 yrs, certainly they could bring some pets. Good Grief.
Sorry but I would have stole the kitten while she was gone!🤷🏾♀️🤣🤣
You would have gotten claw up, african kittens is not the same as domestic kittens
@@len1045678 so is it stronger than lion's baby? People still carry lion's baby and train them
@@michaelolaleye6273 true
The mother is likely just out of frame otherwise they would.
@@michaelolaleye6273 these are jackals (not people) correct? You are putting some strange human expectations onto how the animals are suppose to behave.
humans with cameras has lots to do with the inaction of jackals, they are cowardly anyway, but they would've much more aggressive towards the cat, than they were with the men with cameras being there
100% correct.
4 jackals can easily kill both the cat and her baby
Cat and the dog in the wild
And they just stood there filling 😡😡
почему вырезали съёмку, куда делась кошка-мать?
I didn't see where the mother went?
Well. That was anticlimactic.
understatement! I am particularly impressed that the crucial bit - ie what exactly happened to the cat - was edited out! I'm predicting there won't be a career in hollywood movie direction on this basis.
@@alexanderSydneyOz it wasn’t really edited out. if you bothered to check out the description section then you wouldn’t post that idiotic comment.
Please save her
God saved the baby from that Jackal which saw that but left it kindly...
Look like regular cats
They were afraid of the baby cat
My neighbors misding her cat and kitten. Thanks
Hawskat
I believe the mother was just scared off. She was outnumbered and decided on self preservation. Very unlikely it did it to "protect her kitten". Sounds nice but ur crediting the cat with alot of insight and reasoning that I doubt it has
If the jackals got any closer, they would create a distraction to separate mom and baby, going right for the weaker one, her baby. As a mother and a predator herself she knows this, that's why she created a distraction by running so the threat would leave her baby and follow her. Once she's got them far enough away and they eventually move on she will go back for her baby, calling it to come out of hiding as it's safe. Luckily the jackal that was around her baby moved on. In cases where prey is a mom and baby, the predator/s will create a distraction and separate them, then go for the baby. Cheetah moms do the same as this African Wild Cat mom, they will create a distraction while their babies run and hide, then have the predator, usually lions as they want to eliminate other predators, chase her in the opposite direction away from her babies. She will go back to where she left her babies and call for them to come out of hiding. It's the strong maternal instinct for predator mothers to protect their young in a way that yields the highest chance of survival in situations such as this one.
Something is missing. Where is mama? Did they chase her away? Did mama abandon baby? They must be domesticated cats as they did not climb the tree.
Domesticated cats climb trees.. ..........
@@echotraxmusic Yes. Even electric pole! LOL
@@illegalquantity What?
ehhhh whaaaaat? what? so how??? ok, so it was safe
Why dont you help cat ?
Did jackals kill kitten?
no, the jackals lost interest and walked away. kitten survived.
What’s the cat doing out in the open, not too smart. Jackel must not like eating kittens.
Was the camera from the 30’s? So loud, annoying and disruptive
the cat is no match for 4 jackals
Cats mustn't taste so good, specially wild cat kittens to those guy's, Chinese might disagree! 🤣
movement triggers animals.. .....they should always stay near an escape tree
Esto me Parese un montaje. Que ellos mismo pusieron alos gatos ai .no me engañan .
It's a wildcat which is the ancestor of our "Domestic" cats! They haven't changed much!
Freaking go pick up the kitten
How are they wild? They look like ordinary domesticated house cats.
Mire
What happened to the baby cat?🙄 what a bad recording
Kitten instead of baby....
???.
Dont these cats climb trees
We drop the video at the whats up point 👎👎
K
Bad photographer
Cat will destroy them
Y not rescuing bb. Thats extinc cat.
The so called wild cat was looking at its owners. The kitten was alone there to make the audience wonder and wonder why why why. End of horror movie. 😄😄😄
Turn off your shutter noise. Damn annoying. It doesn't make you any more professional.
We have only very few wildcats in woods of Poland. Its lovely animal. There are 2 in Bialystok ZOO (Poland). How Bialystoker wildcat is hunting - watch in 4K

Jackal behaviour reminds me of the EFF or ANC or BLM. Cowards seeking anonymity in a group
So now you put domestic cats and record them for views???... WOW, Nice try!
It takes a simple Google search to know what an African wild cat looks like and they do look similar to domestic cats.
