Black Backed Jackal

(C) Hyper Paws Gaming, LLC

The Black Backed Jackal is an ancient species that resides in two parts of Africa, along the southernmost tip and the eastern coastline. They are monogamous species and stay in family groups, which allow for better survival rates for pups. Unlike most canidae animals, the black backed jackal is an omnivore. This jackal is found in Khoikhoi lore were it is said that the black fur on its back is a saddle used to carry the sun. There are two subspecies of black backed jackal called the East African Black Backed Jackal and the Cape Black Backed Jackal. The black backed jackal is a highly vocal species and makes like yelling, yelping, woofing, whining, growling, and cackling. The species generally prefers open spaces to dense forests, but the species can occupy a wide range of habitats from alpine, open savanna, to farmlands. The Black Backed Jackal’s conservation status is currently at “least concern”.
