The story of some jackals near Lake Nasser in Egypt. Lake Nasser has an impressive variety of birds, mammals, and reptiles. More than 100 species of birds have been recorded: Wild duck, Egyptian geese, pelicans, herons, egrets and Night of the Jackalvarious species of hawks, kites, falcons and eagles are among the birds to be seen. In most areas there are crocodile and monitor lizards, other types of wildlife include Dorcas gazelle, Golden jackals, Desert fox, and various smaller desert mammals. At night, whilst sitting in camp under the desert stars, one hears all sorts of sounds: frogs, crickets, the call of an owl, howling jackals, night bird calls and the tantalising splash of big fish feeding near the camp. When its quiet and the lights have been turned off the camp comes alive. Little Gerbils have a good scout around for bits of food and a desert fox or Golden Jackal is likely to be checking out the rubbish hole. We encourage these remarkably tame animals by feeding them.
