Indian Jackal

Description:

It typically inhabits lowlands on the outskirts of towns, villages and farms, where they shelter in holes among ruins or dense brush. Except during hot periods, the Indian jackal usually only leaves its den at dusk and retires at dawn. Though primarily a scavenger which subsists on garbage and offal, it will supplement its diet with rodents, reptiles, fruit and insects. It will form small packs when hunting small deer and antelopes.[3] Although it will occasionally kill poultry and young kids and lambs, it is largely harmless.

Habitat:

Seen at a protected national park.
