Location: Serengeti National Park, Tanzania 🇹🇿 Bet you didn’t know 1. Jackals hunt alone or in pairs and they have to use cunning to survive because they’re not the biggest nor fastest on the block. 2. Their most common social unit is as a monogamous pair 3. They’re good long distance runners 4. The name Jackal comes from French chacal, which came from Persian, shoghal, which in turn in Sanskrit comes from a word meaning the howler (boy, that took long getting there) 5. Like the Fox in European folklore, the jackal is often represented in African folk tales as a trickster. 6. The jackal is a medium sized omnivorous mammal of the genus Canis (which includes wolves and the domestic dog). They hunt and are also scavengers. 7. In the Serengeti, jackals have stiff competition from hyenas. And lions. And cheetahs. But they’re tenacious as you will see. 8. The family defending its territory over a year does eventually split up as the young jackals move on to form their own families. 9. In Bengali tantrik tradition, jackals are considered representatives of the Goddess Kali (bet Indiana Jones didn’t know that when he visited the Temple of Doom) The goddess often appears as a jackal. Available worldwide

Not sure when this documentary was made, but it wasn't that long ago that African Golden Wolves were considered the same species as the Golden Jackal of Asia and SE Europe. It's only been a little while that they realized that it's a separate species more related to the gray wolf than to the actual golden jackal.

You must be getting the two family litter's mixed up. Hunter and WhiteTip's pups are older than Zaybar and Storm's pups. This is probably because they had lost their last litter very early on and so it was time to mate again. Then like clockwork, another litter was born and that's why one litter is younger than the other families by maybe a half year? That's also why you don't see the Zaybar and Storm watching their pups "move out" only the Nahbi new young ones did.

When hunter chases off spooky 😂 LOL. Typical dad.

Sooo cutee

why are there no wolves in africa

Interesting and informative as far as the content and video quality goes; unfortunately the terribly written narrator’s scripts spoils it. It’s presented as if it’s a soap opera of sorts, assigning human emotions and relational dynamics to an animal that lives largely by instinct; such anthropomorphism is speculative at best and at worst deliberately distorts the viewer’s sense of the actual dynamics taking place. In essence, take what the narrator says with a pinch of salt and a hearty laugh, and just watch for the sake of enjoying the beauty and ingenuity of these special animals.

African wolf (Canis lupaster) as shown in video are wolves, carrying the ancestral DNA of the Grey wolf (Canis lupus) and the Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis,) also Ethiopia is in Africa so that's two African wolf species. There are still Jackals in Africa the Side-striped jackal (Lupulella adusta) and Black-backed jackal (Lupulella mesomelas,) the Golden "Jackal" being of the genus (Canis) isn't a true Jackal as to why i call them Golden jackal wolf (Canis aureus) to set them apart from the true jackals of Africa genus (Lupulella) in common name.

👏👏👏👏👍👍👍

I always knew wolves can scare of a hyena even if it’s the largest wolf the Russian wolf or the (not really a subspecies of wolf) the small African golden wolf
