Description

Habitat

Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 5,469 meters (0 to 17,943 feet).[1]

Biome: Terrestrial

Ecology: Due to their tolerance of dry habitats and their omnivorous diet , the golden jackal can live in a wide variety of habitats. These range from the Sahel Desert to the evergreen forests of Myanmar and Thailand. They occupy semi-desert, short to medium grasslands and savannahs in Africa; and forested, mangrove , agricultural, rural and semi-urban habitats in India and Bangladesh (Clutton-Brock et al. 1976, Poche et al. 1987, Y. Jhala, pers. obs.). Golden jackals are opportunistic and will venture into human habitation at night to feed on garbage. Jackals have been recorded at elevations of 3,800 m in the Bale Mountains of Ethiopia (Sillero-Zubiri 1996) and are well established around hill stations at 2,000 m in India (Prater 1980).[2]
