Side-striped jackals are in the same genus as black-backed jackals, which means the species are closely related. Side-striped jackals are larger, averaging around 20 pounds (9 kg) but weighing up to 30 (13.6 kg). That’s 10 pounds more than the black-backed jackal.

While black-backed jackals prefer dry savannas and forests in Southern and Eastern Africa, side-striped jackals generally live in wet flatlands, marshes, and mountains in Africa’s more tropical regions. This includes the Congo Basin as well as the countries of Mali, Nigeria, South Sudan, and others in a large band across Western, Central, and Eastern Africa. Their distribution is expanding into surrounding countries as well, which likely means their population is increasing.

All jackal species are omnivores. This means they eat whatever is available, including fruit, carrion, birds, reptiles, insects, etc. Side-striped jackals have never been recorded hunting large prey, preferring carrion, plants, and small animals. They usually search for food at night and on their own or in pairs. These jackal pairs are very territorial, aggressively chasing off unrelated jackals and other predators like leopards and hyenas.

Jackals are quite social and often live in small family groups. Because of this they are very vocal, using a range of barks, howls, and yapping calls. Side-striped jackals are known to have a call that sounds like an owl hoot.

I rate side-striped jackals 14/10. Their white stripes are very unique
