Black-backed Jackal

 

The Black-backed jackal is a canid species with long and thin body. Females are a bit smaller and lighter in weight.


The head of a jackal is dog-like with pointed ears and muzzle. On its back, the jackal has a long dark saddle, stretching from the nape of its neck to the base of its tail. The saddle narrows from shoulders to the base of the tail. 


These jackals have bushy tails, which are black in color. The head, ears, back and basal third of the tail are deep russet-red in color with darker top of the muzzle and thighs. Animalia
