Jackals are small and agile. They move swiftly, and catching them requires too much movements for larger carnivores that must save their energy for more worthwhile preys. If other carnivores target them, they will likely run quickly or even show aggression, which makes them not worth it. Jackals are also extremely intelligent animals. They know that by following lions, chances are that they will get some leftovers from the big cats’ kills. As such, wherever there are lions, jackals are always in the vicinity.
