Story from behind the lens: Jackal in beautiful, wet morning grass . The night before it had been raining. It was early march in the Mara . I had this kind of a backlit picture in my mind that morning. I was so happy that this beautiful Black-backed Jackal was walking around at that exact moment and place in these gorgeous conditions.
