Sparkle<\/a>. So grab your cup of coffee and get comfortable in your computer chair as we are heading to Africa, Asia and Southeastern Europe today.\u00a0 I know it seems like a busy day but this just happens to be where the Jackal hangs out.<\/p>\nThe jackal is a small to medium sized canine which has the same role as the coyote in North America.\u00a0 They are opportunistic feeders and will prey upon small antelope, reptiles, insects and ground-dwelling birds.\u00a0 They understand the importance of fruits and vegetables and will complement their diet with berries and grasses.\u00a0 Although, some jackals will form small groups, especially while scavenging a kill, they tend to be either solitary or paired up with a mate.\u00a0 In fact, the jackal is one of the few mammal species that mate for life with their partner.\u00a0 That’s right, they are monogamous! This “husband” and “wife” team will hunt together, raise their babies together and defend their territory together.\u00a0 It sounds to me like they make a pretty good team and some married couples could probably follow their example! Although, jackals are very territorial and will feverishly mark their boundaries, they occasionally will allow their pups to stick around for awhile.\u00a0 In some cases the pups will watch the new-born jackals while their parents are hunting.\u00a0 I guess it is like that kid that just won’t leave home but at least you get a free babysitter!<\/p>\n
So if you are having a tough time writing your wedding vows then I suggest checking out a video on jackal behaviour.\u00a0 You never know, it might give you a few ideas!<\/p>\n
Have a great day everyone and I will see you all again tomorrow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Yesterday, we managed to get up close and personal with the largest cat species in North America.\u00a0 I thought it might be fun to follow up the Cougar post with a dog species.\u00a0 You know I don’t want to show bias towards the feline over canine species. Especially since I am more of a dog lover than a cat lover! Sorry Sparkle.
