<p>76.125.206.17: </p> <hr /> <div>{{unreferenced}}<br /> [[Image:KDelany-BlackbackedJackal.JPG|thumb|right|Artwork depicting a Black-backed Jackal.]]<br /> The '''jackal''' is a group of canids of the genus ''Canis'', closely related to the [[Wolf (species)|wolf]] and the domestic [[dog]]. The [[wikipedia:golden jackal|golden jackal]] is common in [[wikipedia:India|India]], [[wikipedia:North Africa|North Africa]] and the [[wikipedia:Middle East|Middle East]], while the [[wikipedia: black-backed jackal|black-backed jackal]] and [[wikipedia: side-striped jackal|side-striped jackal]] are only native to Africa. The Ethiopian wolf, a highly endangered [[species]] of wolf, was formerly called a jackal, but a recent genetic study suggests that it is more closely related to gray wolves and coyotes.<br /> <br /> In classic literature, the jackal is generally portrayed as a cowardly lackey or conspirator, likely owing to their natural opportunism and scavenging behavior.<br /> <br /> The appeal of the jackal among [[furry fans]] is almost certainly because the [[Egyptian mythology|Egyptian god]] [[Anubis (god)|Anubis]] was typically portrayed with the head of a jackal. Anubis is a very popular subject of [[furry art]]work.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[:Category:Jackal characters|Jackal characters]]<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Jackal|Jackal]] on [[Wikipedia]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Canine species]]<br /> <br /> [[ru:Шакалы]]</div>
