A wild Jackal (Wild Dog) was spotted today at Vinayak Nagar, Belagavi. Jackals are medium-sized omnivorous mammals of the subtribe Canina, which also includes wolves and the domestic dog, among other species.
Jackals are opportunistic omnivores, predators of small to medium-sized animals and proficient scavengers. Their long legs and curved teeth are adapted for hunting small mammals, birds, and reptiles, and their large feet and fused leg bones give them a physique well-suited for long-distance running, capable of maintaining speeds of 16 km/h for extended periods of time.
They are often mistaken for foxes but jackals are quite different from them. Jackals are non harmful animals thus the residents shouldn’t be fearful of their existence in and around their locality.
