The Golden jackal has long, pointed ears and long hair. The golden jackal is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List due to its widespread distribution, with it being common throughout its range and with high densities in those areas where food and shelter are abundant. The basic social unit is a breeding pair, followed by its current offspring, or offspring from previous litters staying as "helpers". It was also the color that the body turned during mummification. Amongst the main factors limiting the occurrence of the golden jackal are (Spassov 1989): 1. Recently, an isolated population was confirmed in western Estonia, much further than their common range. Copulation is preceded by the female holding her tail out and angled in such a way that her genitalia are exposed. The end of the tail just reaches the heel or slightly below it. Their behavior is strictly synchronized: they forage, hunt and rest together. Information on the diet of the golden jackal in northeastern Italy is scant, but it certainly preys on small roe deer and hares.In Dalmatia, mammals (the majority being even-toed ungulates and lagomorphs) made up 50.3% of the golden jackal's diet, fruit seeds (14% each being common fig and common grape vine, while 4.6% are Juniperus oxycedrus) and vegetables 34.1%, insects (16% orthopteras, 12% beetles, and 3% dictyopteras) 29.5%, birds and their eggs 24.8%, artificial food 24%, and branches, leaves, and grass 24%.In west Africa, it mostly confines itself to small prey, such as hares, rats, ground squirrels and grass cutters.

In the past three years, wolf attacks had gone down, but now jackals were killing the sheep. The group believe that the emergency money provided by the government to culture-based organisations should be used to retain all jobs and that any other use of the funding is unfair. Un derstanding jackals’ demographic ra tes is crucial for management and conservation. Hyenas do not take to eating jackal flesh readily; four hyenas were reported to take half an hour in eating one. The number of pups in a single litter varies geographically; jackals in Uzbekistan give birth to 2-8 pups, in Bulgaria 4-7, in Michurinsk only 3-5, and in India the average is four. In the Caucasus and Transcaucasia, the golden jackal primarily hunts hares and mouse-like rodents, as well as pheasants, francolins, ducks, coots, moorhens and passerines.Vegetable matter eaten by jackals in these areas includes fruits, such as pears, hawthorn, dogwood and the cones of common medlars. Red foxes will avoid close proximity to jackals and fox populations decrease where jackals are abundant.Some golden jackals carry diseases and parasites harmful to human health.
The underparts and belly are of a lighter pale ginger to cream colour than the back. To add a new location to the range map we need a clear image of the specimen you have encountered. The buff colour is more pronounced in specimens from high altitudes. In southern Bulgaria, 1, 053 attacks on small stock, mainly sheep and lambs, were recorded between 1982 and 1987, along with some damages to newborn deer in game farms. It is capable of producing fertile hybrids with wolves, with hybrid populations having been discovered in Senegal and Bulgaria.The golden jackal features prominently in African, Middle-Eastern and Asian folklore and literature, where it is often portrayed as a trickster analogous to the fox and coyote in European and North American tales, respectively.The earliest fossil carnivores that can be linked with some certainty to canids are the Eocene Miacids, which lived some 38 to 56 million years ago. The coat of the animal is rather coarse and not very long. The female nurses the young for about 8 weeks, after which they are weaned. In contrast, the golden jackal appears to have unlimited fertility with dogs and wolves. See the creative common license terms by clicking "CC" icon below the map.
