Black-backed Jackal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Black-backed Jackal (Canis mesomelas), also known as the Silver-backed Jackal is a species of jackal which inhabits two areas of the African continent separated by roughly 900 kilometers. One region includes the southern-most tip of the continent including South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. The other area is along the eastern coastline, including Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia.[4]
The fossil record indicates that the Black-backed Jackal is the oldest living member of the genus Canis.[2]
