There are three species of jackals, which are medium-sized carnivores with diverse appearance and behavior. Let's explore the world of black-backed and side-striped jackals in more detail. Typically, jackals weigh 15 to 45 pounds and stand 15 to 25 inches tall at the shoulder. Their fur is golden brown with regular black stripes on their backs, and they have long, slender legs and a pointed snout. The striped jackal is the smallest of the three species and is widespread throughout the world, including Southeast Asia, Africa, and Southeast Europe. The golden jackal is the largest of the three species. They can survive in forested places but prefer open ecosystems such as savannas, deserts, and grasslands.

While the Side-striped Jackal is common in central and southern Africa, the Black-backed Jackal is found in Southern and East Africa. Because they are opportunistic hunters, jackals consume a variety of foods when they are available. They forage and eat fruits and insects in addition to hunting small mammals such as furry animals and birds. It is said that golden jackals have this talent. Jackals are noted for their distinctive howling behavior, which helps them communicate with each other within established territories, and their ability to consume almost anything, including domestic pets. They are animals that live in packs of up to 10 people, with male and female dogs predominating. They work together to hunt, defend their territory, and care for their young jackals. They live in monogamous relationships, meaning they mate for life with the same person. Jackals' lifespans vary depending on the species and the environment they live in. They usually have a lifespan of 10 to 10 years. After 12 years of living in the wild, they are still vulnerable to various problems, such as habitat loss and human abuse. The most famous and beloved of the three species is the golden jackal, which is also the most targeted for persecution. Humans frequently hunt and poison them because they are believed to pose a danger to farming and hunting animals. In addition to being hunted for their fur, black-backed jackals are also a nuisance. Although the side-striped jackal is not as endangered as the other two species, it is still at risk of habitat loss. Various conservation efforts are being made to protect jackals in their natural environment. Many groups are trying to spread the importance of jackals to their ecosystems and activities. Others are working to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned and released jackals that need to live with humans. In some places where conservationists are also using non-lethal techniques to manage jackal populations, such as guard dogs and electric fences, they have returned to the wild. Here are some interesting facts about jackals that you may not know. Because of the silver-gray fur that covers its body, the Black-backed Jackal is sometimes also called the Silver-backed Jackal. The god Anubis was once described as having the head of a jackal in Egyptian mythology. Jackals are famous for their keen sense of hearing and smell, which help them locate prey and avoid predators. A legendary animal called the "jackal" is a cross between a jackal and an antelope. It is sometimes seen with deer or elk-like antlers and plays an important role in many ecosystems as a scavenger, removing dead animals and preventing the spread of disease. The white stripes that run along the flanks of the side-striped jackal give it its name. This stripe is believed to aid in the identification of other Jackals in the pack.
