The Jackal

The Jackal is a small to medium-sized cunning critter that is a part of the canine family, just like your domestic dog! With a coat that varies in color from golden to reddish-brown, a pointed snout, and bushy tail, they look a bit like a mix of a fox and a wolf. Jackals enjoy a life in diverse habitats, from deserts to grasslands, but they always stay near water sources. They are pretty vocal animals too, often communicating with high-pitched, wailing calls that chill your spine when heard in the night!
