This article is about the animal. For other uses, see Jackal (disambiguation).
Jackals were common desert canines. Some desert tribes considered the jackal a natural example of wisdom and cunning.[2]
Description[]
The jackal looked something like a mixture of a wild fox and a domestic dog.[2] Like other dogs their size, they were skilled at jumping and tracking by scent.[2][3][1]
Behavior[]
Jackals, like other small dogs, hunted in packs,[2][3][1] of about one to six animals,[5] but usually, they scavenged for their food.[5] They were not very brave animals and were not typically aggressive.[5]
Ecology[]
Habitats[]
Jackals were known to inhabit the Calim Desert during the time of the city of Cursrah.[6], the Lonely Moor,[7] the land of Amn.[8] and the Raurin desert.[9]
Trivia[]
- 1077 DR was known as the "Year of the Friendly Jackal."
