Black-backed Jackal Pup

The Black-backed jackal lives in scrubland, open woodlands, savanna, and bush. They live in pairs most of their lives and are very territorial. Black-backed jackals can team up together when hunting for antelopes or impala. They weigh between 5 to 10kg.

Great shot, Shaka, first time I have seen a black-baked jackal, thanks for sharing

Is that what you call a dingo?

Hi Jerryc41, No this is not a dingo but an African Black-backed Jackal. The Black-backed jackal (Canis mesomelas), also known as the Silver-backed jackal lives in two distinct regions in Africa. One region is South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and the other Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia. This one was photographed in Botswana, a neighbouring country to South Africa. Thank you for looking! :wink:
