EDITORS COMMENTS
Looks like someone took the saying 'sick as a dog' quite literally! This print captures the unfortunate moment when a Black-backed Jackal decided to take a sick day. Meet our furry friend, who seems to have caught a case of distemper and is feeling under the weather in style. With its adorable yet slightly pitiful expression, this jackal proves that even wildlife can have their off days. Resting peacefully in Namibia's stunning landscapes, it's hard not to feel sympathy for this African canine. Perhaps it just needed some time off from its wild adventures or maybe it was simply trying out new yoga poses – we'll never know! But fear not, our talented photographer Bob Gibbons managed to capture this rare moment with great finesse. The contrast between the jackal's sleek black coat and its tired eyes creates an intriguing composition that will surely make any viewer stop and ponder. So next time you're feeling down or need an excuse for some much-needed rest, remember our little jackal friend here. After all, if even wild dogs can take a break from their busy lives, why shouldn't we? Just be sure to avoid catching any contagious illnesses while you're at it!
