ungulates, ground birds, insects, fish, and feed on fruits and vegetation.
The Golden Jackal is very much like a small wolf. It
stands as tall as a moderately tall dog and the bone structure is common to
the canis family. It has a medium sized, pointed snout and long pointed ears.
Their fur is long and smooth and coloration varies depending on age, season,
geographical location, and individual.
