Jackals Hunt Birds In The Wild

• Side-striped jackal, Canis adustus - Sundevall, 1847 - Central and southern Africa
Primarily residing in wooded areas, unlike other jackal species, it is the least aggressive of the jackals, rarely preying on large mammals.
• Golden jackal, Canis aureus - Linnaeus, 1758 - Northern Africa, southeastern Europe, the Middle East, western Asia, and South Asia
The heaviest of the jackals, it is the only species to subsist outside of Africa. Although often grouped with the other jackals, genetic and morphological research indicate the golden jackal is more closely related to the gray wolf and the coyote.
