Jackal

The jackal is one of a number of small-to-medium-sized members of the Canidae family found in Africa and Asia. Jackals fill a similar ecological niche as does the coyote in North America, that of scavenger and lesser predator.

Jackals may occasionally assemble in small packs, but normally hunt alone.

Species:

• golden jackal[?]
• side-striped jackal[?]
• black-backed jackal[?]
• bat-eared fox[?]
