A jackal bit a one-year-old baby in a nearby tent at the Gvanim Stream camping site in Ramon Crater on Friday night.

According to the Nature and Parks Authority, the father said that he left a small opening in the tent when he went out at night, and returned after hearing his wife screaming while searching for the child. "Apparently, the jackal dragged the child a few meters before releasing him".

Magen David Adom (MDA) teams evacuated the baby to Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva in moderate condition, with bite marks on his face. Later, the hospital reported that the baby was mildly injured.

Soroka Hospital stated that the one-year-and-two-month-old baby is hospitalized in the pediatric emergency department. "Upon arrival, he underwent medical evaluation and imaging tests, and subsequently received the required medical treatment, including vaccinations. A notification was sent to the Ministry of Health, and now the baby is hospitalized in light condition."

No joke. Jackals used to show up in Nahariya in force every night around midnight. Here in Haifa, there are less of them, but wild pigs abound. Who says nature is cute animals talking and gamboling around, like in a Disney movie.

I like that you appropriately blame Disney. I do that as well. Many people rarely interact with the natural world, and they take their cues on how to do so from Disney, with all those friendly anthropomorphized critters. I remember watching Wild Kingdom as a kid, and they showed the real deal of critters attacking and eating other critters.

Wasn’t there a case a few years back where a dingo dragged a baby away and the mother was accused of murder instead? Tragic tale.

[piasa]

That was many years back. Like decades

Elaine: “Maybe a dingo ate your baby.”

What the heck is Jackyl doing in Israel biting Israeli babies? Did any of them identify as lumberjacks by any chance?

[Eleutheria5]

I was never out when their pack rolled into town around midnight, howling like the Dickens, and all the dogs went bat-sh!t crazy barking at them. Didn’t want to get bit. If it’s the name of a rock group, that would explain a lot.

Wild Kingdom was sanitized for TV. No blood and gore.

Is jackal hunting allowed in Israel?

It’s a hard rock band from Acworth, Georgia and were popular in the mid-1990s.

Here are their most popular songs.

“Apparently, the jackal dragged the child a few meters before releasing him”.

It would seem to me the child would be bellowing his bloody lungs out upon being grabbed, the mom couldn’t hear that a few meters away?

My comment was to be something else until I noticed that the article fails to cite “baby boy” or “baby girl”...

No idea. They just howl up a storm, is all I know. Dogs don’t like them.
