Lupulella mesomelas

Until recently, jackals were in the Canis genus with wolves and coyotes. They are now in their own genus called lupulella, which consists of only two species- the side-striped jackal and the black-backed jackal. Golden jackals aren’t included in this genus because recent studies have shown that they are more closely related to grey wolves than to other jackal species.

The smallest jackal species is the black-backed jackal, found in Southern and Eastern Africa. They weigh roughly 13 to 20 pounds (5.8 to 9 kg) and are named after their distinctive “saddles,” or dark-colored bands on their backs.

Black-backed jackals are quite social. Most of them do almost everything in pairs, including hunting, digging dens, and raising pups, and they often form small family groups or packs. Because they are often hunted by leopards, eagles, and especially hyenas, which are much larger than them, groups of jackals are often more successful in raising pups and guarding their food.

Jackals usually target small animals like lizards, rodents, and hares, but groups of jackals will target impala, wildebeest calves, and other larger prey. They also eat insects and vegetation like plums and figs.

Although they are regularly hunted for their fur and by farmers and ranchers protecting livestock, black-backed jackals are classified as least concern. This means they are quite common and are not in danger of extinction.

I rate the black-backed jackal 12/10. Their ears are the perfect size

Black-backed Jackal scavenging what little nutrient remains on a well-browsed carcass. Jackals are adaptable, intelligent, and capable of survival in most any ecosystem including near humans. Couples mate for life. Seen at Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Reserve.
