With a sharp snout and prominent ears, jackals thrive in pairs, displaying unwavering loyalty to their mates. Within each family, a clandestine language of yips and hoots is shared exclusively among parents and siblings. Solitary, the jackal is a crafty and cunning creature, possessing the fragility of a fox and the resilience of a skilled hunting dog.
Jackals are medium-sized omnivorous mammals of the subtribe Canina, which also includes wolves and the domestic dog, among other species. While the word "jackal" has historically been used for many small canines, in modern use it most commonly refers to three species: the closely related black-backed jackal and side-striped jackal of sub-Saharan-Africa, and the golden jackal of south-central Europe and Asia.
Jackals are opportunistic omnivores, predators of small to medium-sized animals and proficient scavengers. Their long legs and curved canine teeth are adapted for hunting small mammals, birds, and reptiles, and their large feet and fused leg bones give them a physique well-suited for long-distance running, capable of maintaining speeds of 16 km/h (10 mph) for extended periods of time. Jackals are crepuscular, most active at dawn and dusk.
