Animal India - Golden Jackal Portrait - Canis Aureus

The golden jackal (Canis aureus) - the largest of the jackals - resembles a small wolf, but with a comparatively more slender build, shorter legs, and a shorter tail. Lack of food and shelter, and the pressure of urbanization have reduced jackals' habitat. An omnivore is an organism that eats a variety of other organisms, including plants, animals, and fungi. Despite their sharp teeth, here is a golden jackal eating plant leaves in a forest without getting meat types of food at Tehatta, West Bengal, India on 08/11/2023.
