Welcome the the Photo Gallery of the Predator Conservation Trust website. Due to the large increase in the number of photos in the gallery, it has been split into several pages. This page shows photographs of some of the various carnivores, and also some of the areas of Namibia where PCT carries out its work. Other pages show photographs of other carnivores, and a number of the prey species.
Clicking on any of the small images will open a larger version in a new window. To close the new window, simply click on the image. If clicking an image does not open the photo in a new window, this may be due to software such as Norton Internet Security blocking the popup windows, and can be solved by un-checking the "block ads" and "block popups" options for this site.

The following are photographs of caracal. Caracal are easily identified by the prominent tufts of hair on the tips of their black ears. Their coats are short and sandy coloured, with white patches on their underside, throat and chin. The sandy colour of the coat acts as an excellent camouflage in semi desert areas such as most of Namibia. The caracal is smaller than many of the other predators found in Namibia.
For more information on the Caracal, please visit our Caracal information page.

The following photographs are of a large spotted Genet. These small cat-like carnivores are nocturnal and are often seen around guest lodges in parts of Africa. Some lodges put out food to attract Genets and other small nocturnal creatures such as bushbabies, porcupines or honey badgers. These photographs were taken at a guest lodge in Kenya.

The following photos are of Black-backed Jackal. The Jackal is generally regarded as a small scavenger, but as well as scavenging, it does hunt and kill its own food. It is often regarded as vermin, especially by farmers who suffer losses and tend to persecute the Jackal as a result. Despite this, jackals are one of the few carnivore species to survive well in close contact with humans and can often be found in and around human settlements scavenging from dustbins.
