Not recorded by the camera, but the photographer saw that when two hungry jackals came near the fox, he fended them off with his battle cries and escaped safely.
According to Dyer, the little fox was still alive and was spotted recuperating in a patch of grass.
This partly explains why we should never call people animals because the loving nature they have is hardly found in some people.
It wasn’t clear how the helpless fox was injured, but he was unable to move much when the hungry lioness approached him.
Other family members came along and probably wondered how much meat it had on its bones…
