Jackals Out of Africa - Go Wild

[@Simanasw]

Came across this video as I spotted this animal in my backyard at late evening. Wonderful creatures! Lithuania.

[@anubistemple4631]

The haunting cries of a jackal sends chills down one's spine, a powerful song! African Golden Jackals are apparently African Golden Wolves, but I don't think that then turns Anubis, who was *originally* inspired by what we *thought* were jackals, into a wolf. I continue to feel that Anubis is still the mighty jackal god he is and always was. Also, Anubis more resembles the Black Backed Jackal much more than the actual Egyptian Jackal. Coincidence, or something more?

[@andrasiboti]

You are right about the Black Backed Jackal, though.... Don't listen to that idiot... some people and so rude...

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Great Narrator on the video. The animals sounds great howling like that!

[@Ganjwarrior]

The fact that we now know these are wolves and not jackals is, as a life long wolf enthusiast, really incredible news to me. I had always wondered why wolves didn't cross over into Africa.

[@danieljacobson74]

A couple things. There are wolves in Africa, canus lupaster. European wolves would need to cross 1) a large desert 2) a large sea 3) many highly populated areas.

[@jasonblack4208]

@@danieljacobson74 that was what he was saying: canis lupaster was originally known as subspecies of the golden jackal, rather than as their current designation: the African Golden Wolf.

Jackals. Coyotes. Wolves. Dog species as a whole are very diverse animals.... 😎🤟🏼

[@LaStriata]

Now it needs updating. It's just been discovered that the Eurasian and African golden jackals are separate species, with the latter being actually more closely related to wolves.

[@PlainsPup]

+LaStriata It now seems that both the golden jackal (Canis aureus) and the gray wolf (C. lupus) are found in both Africa and Eurasia. The African wolf (C. lupus lupaster) was once thought to be a golden jackal, but is now considered the smallest subspecies of gray wolf, even smaller than the Arabian wolf (C. lupus arabs). However, there are still golden jackals in Africa as well.

[@LaStriata]

***** But there aren't gray wolves in Africa. See Koepfli 2015. All wolf-like canids in Africa are Canis anthus.

[@PlainsPup]

+LaStriata Wow, thanks for that reference. So it turns out the gray wolf (Canis lupus) is not in Africa after all. Rather, there's the Eurasian golden jackal (C. aureus) and the African golden wolf (C. anthus), which is more closely related to the gray wolf and dog than the Eurasian golden jackal (p. 2160-2161 from Koepfli et al. 2015). Great stuff.

[@PlainsPup]

+LaStriata Also: I love this documentary, but it's misleading to compare the African black-backed jackal to the Eurasian golden jackal, since these two Canis species are not very closely related.

[@LaStriata]

***** Very true

[@shahrokhjoudi3602]

Valuable information.that was my ansewer that why our old ancients hanged one light on each new grave every night.and next they learnt to put one stone on their new died graves. Thank you

[@ebonimom6964]

I wish I knew what you were trying to say.

[@KnjazNazrath]

@@ebonimom6964 It's p easy to understand even though the OP can't spell. They're saying that jackals explain why people put lights and stones on graves of the recently dead in antiquity. One could say there's a relation to the idea that Anubis was conceived in order to fight fire with fire by making a jackal guard the dead from jackals.

[@ebonimom6964]

The coyote was able to spread throughout the United States because the red wolves were killed by farmers. The red wolves kept the coyote population in check.

And in Europe, wolves are returning to their ancestral haunts, even in Holland, land of urban sprawl. If you're a predator in Europe... now is the best time to be alive.

I think the golden jackals used in this interesting documentary are trained.

[@DadsLloyd]

I agree, PlainsPup. I suspect they are the two puppies Elizabeth claimed she found (and "surrendered to the two men") or their offspring. Note how we are continually told in the film about how difficult it is to even see a jackal and at the same time we are watching jackals act out the details of the narrative. Hollywood-style filmmaking at its most disingenuous. Nice photos, though.

[@davedowner8593]

We seem to see only one at at time, conveniently until later in the flic,

[@davedowner8593]

[@johnshields6852]

Jackals remind me of horror stories like mysterious spirit world symbols, I think mainly because of the movie the omen, it's funny how you can an impression of one animal and associate it with some subject, like I have with the jackal.

[@johnortmann3098]

These are nominally golden jackals. Since this was made, it's been determined the golden "jackals" in Africa are best considered wolves, being closely related to the gray wolf. The outwardly similar Eurasian jackals are in fact jackals, much less closely related to gray wolves. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_jackal en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_golden_wolf

Basically old world coyotes. Yotes are also spreading throughout north america, mostly because wolves are missing.

JACKALS ARE POSITIVE ENTITIES AND PROTECTORS OF PEOPLE It's sad that ppl labeled the Jackal as a negative force- a devilish malevolent type of being. Not so, in Egypt in the year eleventy blah blah B.C. Jackals were worn on the heads of Egyptians after the passing of loved ones, the half Jackals were drawn out in text writings on papaya paper from the book of the dead and scribed on the sides of tombs-was their position held in the nether world (after world). The half human deity with a Jackal for a head was an otherworldly protector of those passed into the nether world. Even during the process of answering for both the good and the bad ppl deemed it necessary to be escorted by the Jackal headed human through the judgment stage and is a mighty protector from the crocodiles who sit next to the judgement helper, ready to devour those terrible sinners particularly when the ''Jackal Deity'' is not supporting a person thru crossover and is absent. which was not likely. All these beliefs are those of Egyptians from that century. Also Egyptians state thru text that the Jackal is in no way a bad demon and does not stand next to Satan- or any other Angels or Gods, for the Jackals protection it walks alone until it is summoned to escort a person who is getting ready to enter netherworld thru several doors, each going thru room after room, after room until the end of a Hall. Anytime a full Jackal is depicted as a statue, sitting upright near a door IT IS A PROTECTOR FROM EVIL FOR THAT SPECIFIC HOUSE. Along w the Jackal statue, Egyptians also hung a gazelle and a lizard in their front windows, not sure why those other two were mentioned but it has smthg to do with protection......; /

[@HyenaChannel2014]

African golden jackals are actually wolves, and have been renamed as African golden wolves (Canis Anthus). Very interesting documentary though.

+Hyena And Jackal Channel And black-backed jackals and side-striped jackals need their own genus, or Canis is a paraphyletic genus. Either that or we fold the Dhole and African wild dog into Canis. The Ethiopian wolf used to be called a jackal as well.

[@Pharoah510]

African golden jackals are still Canis Aureus. The African Golden Wolf (Canis Anthus) is a different species of animal that is distinct from both jackals and wolves. Canis anthus Lupaster is the african wolf.

[@aikigeorge3]

puts me in mind of coyote (canis latrans) in north America .... I wonder if there is a connection. I see coyote in town all the time

[@PlainsPup]

+aikigeorge3 Coyotes (Canis latrans), golden jackals (C. aureus), and Simien jackals (C. simensis) are all closely enough related to wolves and dogs (C. lupus) to be able to hybridize with them.

[@PlainsPup]

Wild wolves and domestic wolves (dogs) are both in the species Canis lupus and can freely interbreed. Canis lupus can hybridize with coyotes (C. latrans); the offspring are not sterile, but have may reduced fertility, with gene introgression being fine, but repeated hybridization leading to sterility. Canis lupus can also hybridize with golden jackals (C. aureus), Simien jackals (C. simensis), and golden wolves (C. antheus), but they may be sterile - usually males - in accordance with Haldane's Rule. These are all known as the "wolf-like" canids, and there has never been a recorded instance of their hybridizing with other canids, such as dholes, Cape hunting dogs, other jackals, foxes, or South American canids.

[@zapszapper9105]

Are golden jackals closely related to coyotes, like same animal came to America's across Bering sea land bridge?? 10,000 years ago??

[@zapszapper9105]

No coyotes are closely related to the grey wolf, but fill a similar ecological niche as the golden jackal in Euro Asia. Dogs are descended from wolves, Dogs can be crossed with Wolves, golden jackals, and coyotes. So what's in a dog ?

[@indyreno2933]

Actually, coyotes and golden jackals are more closely related to each other than either is to the grey wolf, in fact, the Canis genus is actually completely polyphyletic, as four extant species that were never considered conspecific with the grey wolf in either way are actually relocated to two separate genera, Flavocyon for the Common Golden Wolf (Flavocyon lupaster) and the Ethiopian Golden Wolf (Flavocyon simensis) and Prolupus for the Golden Jackal (Prolupus aureus) and the Coyote (Prolupus latrans), similarly, the extinct taxon Xenocyon is also a separate genus from Canis, while the genus Prolupus (Laurasian Jackals/Holarctic Jackals) is an official sister genus to Canis (True Wolves and Oceanian Wild Dogs), the genus Flavocyon (Golden Wolves/African Wolves) has no close relation to the Canis genus at all and is therefore nestled outside of the Cuon/Prolupus/Canis clade, in fact the genus Flavocyon is actually more derived than the other two african genera being Lupulella (African Jackals) and Lycaon (Painted Dogs) but is technically basal to the Cuon/Prolupus/Canis clade, the only eight extant members of the Canis genus are actually now the Grey Wolf (Canis lupus (cladistically including the Domestic Dog (Canis lupus familiaris))), the White Wolf (Canis albus), the Sea Wolf (Canis crassodon), the Eastern Wolf (Canis lycaon), the Red Wolf (Canis rufus), the Pale-Footed Wolf (Canis pallipes), the New Guinea Singing Dog (Canis hallstromi), and the Dingo (Canis dingo), thus making six extant genera within the subtribe Canina (Old World Wolf-Like Canines).

The moose was originally called "elk" in Europe, as reflected in the scientific name for moose, Alces alces. For some reason, American colonists adopted the Algonquin word for the animal, "moose," while giving the name "elk" to the American elk, also known by its Sioux name, "wapiti." Why this happened is anyone's guess.
