Black Backed Jackal

´: The base colour of Black Backed Jackal is reddish brown to tan, which is particularly pronounced on the flanks and legs. The tail is bushy and tipped with black. The lips, throat, chest, and inner surface of the limbs are white.

Black-backed Jackal pairs do everything together, including eating and sleeping. They are very territorial and defend their territory as a team. They also hunt together. Black-backed Jackal pairs who hunt together are three times more likely to get a successful kill than a single Jackal.
