Jackals are one of my favourite animals so I’m sad to see them used by NVCers as a symbol of violent language that does not serve life.
Jackals and their coyote-wolf cousins are highly intelligent, social animals.
They pair-bond for life and both parents assist in caring for the cubs. Families are closely knit and older siblings will also help to feed and babysit new pups.
Jackals are talkative animals, communicating constantly with a variety of yelps, yips and yowls.
Jackals are extraordinarily versatile and adapt to a huge range of environments and food resources, eating all kinds of small animals but also a lot of fruit, berries, nuts and mushrooms.
