Side-striped jackal: Date: 1890: Source: Dogs, jackals, wolves, and foxes: a monograph of the Canidae. (1890) With woodcuts, and 45 coloured plates drawn from nature by J.G. Keulemans and hand-coloured. Author: Mivart, St. George Jackson (30 November 1827 – 1 April 1900) Full title
Jackals are canids native to Africa and Eurasia.While the word "jackal" has historically been used for many canines of the subtribe canina, in modern use it most commonly refers to three species: the closely related black-backed jackal (Lupulella mesomelas) and side-striped jackal (Lupulella adusta) of Central and Southern Africa, and the golden jackal (Canis aureus) of south-central Europe ...

The jackal's competitors are the red fox, wolf, jungle cat, wildcat, and raccoon in the Caucasus, and the steppe wildcat in Central Asia. [74] Wolves dominate jackals, and jackals dominate foxes. [54] In 2017 in Iran, an Indian wolf under study killed a golden jackal. [87]
The Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis), [4] also called the red jackal, the Simien jackal or Simien fox, is a canine native to the Ethiopian Highlands. In southeastern Ethiopia, it is also known as the horse jackal. It is similar to the coyote in size and build, and is distinguished by its long and narrow skull, and its red and white fur. [5]
10 of the 13 extant canid genera left-to-right, top-to-bottom: Canis, Cuon, Lycaon, Cerdocyon, Chrysocyon, Speothos, Vulpes, Nyctereutes, Otocyon, and Urocyon Canidae is a family of mammals in the order Carnivora, which includes domestic dogs, wolves, coyotes, foxes, jackals, dingoes, and many other extant and extinct dog-like mammals.
Compared to members of the genus Canis, the black-backed jackal is a very ancient species, and has changed little since the Pleistocene, [6] being the most basal wolf-like canine, alongside the closely related side-striped jackal. [7] It is a fox-like animal [8] with a reddish brown to tan coat and a black saddle that extends from the shoulders ...
According to a phylogeny derived from nuclear sequences, the Eurasian golden jackal (Canis aureus) diverged from the wolf/coyote lineage 1.9 Mya, but the African golden wolf separated 1.3 Mya. Mitochondrial genome sequences indicated the Ethiopian wolf diverged from the wolf/coyote lineage slightly prior to that. [19]: S1
