Black Back Jackal Skull

The Black-backed Jackal (Lupulella mesomelas) is a medium-sized canid native to eastern and southern Africa. It is easily recognized by the distinctive black saddle marking on its back, contrasting with its reddish-brown fur and white underparts. Highly adaptable, this jackal thrives in various habitats, including savannas, deserts, and coastal areas. Black-backed jackals are opportunistic omnivores, feeding on small mammals, birds, carrion, insects, and fruit. They are known for their intelligence, scavenging skills, and occasional cooperative hunting. All skulls, bones and skeletons vary slightly in size and shape.
