Days at FreeMe Wildlife can start early...
This is especially the case when we need to transport animals for long distances. Cool temperatures are comfortable to work in, and are vital for the comfort of the animals in transport crates. 
At six months of age, these two Black-backed Jackal were ready to be taken to their soft-release enclosure at a site selected for their release. They will spend a further six months in a large soft-release boma which will allow them to acclimatize to their new surroundings, which includes the presence of large predators.
But first... there's work to be done.

Once we have tied down the crates and made sure air flow in optimal, checked we have the permits from our conservation authorities, we set off for Zululand.
We love what we do, and how we do it.
But we can't do it alone. Please visit our website for ideas on how you can help: www.freemewildlife.org/support-us
