Golden Jackal Pup

Canis aureus (pup)

Golden Jackal Pup

Golden jackal pups remain near dens in scrubland, grassland, and open woodland while they grow. They play-fight, explore short distances, and learn to follow scent trails under adult supervision. Their food begins with milk and shifts to regurgitated meat, insects, fruit, and small scraps. A pup's playful biting and chasing helps develop the hunting skills needed after it leaves the den.
