The Black-Backed Jackal of the African Savanna
The black-backed jackal is an agile member of the wild canine family native to sub-Saharan Africa. It inhabits open grasslands, scrublands, and savanna borders, where its sharp senses help it monitor the surrounding landscape for food and keep watch for larger predators.
