A lone jackal tried to take a bite of a calf carcass when an upset group of vultures approached it

The series of images show the moment a lappet-faced vulture with its eight-foot-wide wingspan took on the lone jackal

Other shots show how the jackal turned to face the large vulture head on during the battle

But the bird used it's wingspan and large talons to intimidate the jackal as it ate the calf carcass

The photographs were taken at the Boteti River, Botswana, by business owner Bridgena Barnard from Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa

Barnard, who captured the images with a Nikon camera, called the images a 'typical scene of the food chain' 

There are five species of vultures in Botswana including, lappet-faced, white headed, cape griffon, hooded and white-backed

 Vultures are frequently seen waiting for animals to finish feasting on a carcass before swooping in to pick the bones

Barnard said of the scene: 'The jackal pulled the carcass from under the bush onto the sandy river bed and the vultures followed and the rivalry of who feeds followed'
