Jackal fights honey badgers for a duiker carcass

This video was captured using an infrared flash camera trap on a macadamia farm near White River, Mpumalanga, South Africa. To record it, I tied down a dead duiker that I found lying in a field (it supposedly died of natural causes). It was already halfeaten by the time I found it and made excellent camera trap bait. On the second day of recording footage, a sidestriped jackal decided to challenge a pair of honey badgers for the carcass. This video details the interaction starting from when the jackal enters the frame. Side note the temperature recorded on the camera trap s timestamp is definitely much higher than the actual winter night temperature from when it was captured. This might have to do with the batteries warming the camera s housing after 30 minutes of filming the pair of badgers eating away at the carcass before the jackal arrived.
