Jackal Against A Lion

Their most common social unit is that of a monogamous pair which defends its territory from other pairs by vigorously chasing intruding rivals and marking landmarks around the territory with their urine and feces. The territory may be large enough to hold some young adults which stay with their parents until they establish their own territories. Jackals may occasionally assemble in small packs, for example to scavenge a carcass, but they normally hunt either alone or in pairs.
Etymology
The English word "jackal" derives from Persian شغال shaghāl, via Turkish çakal, ultimately from Sanskrit शृगाल śṛgāla.
