Jackals are dog-like scavengers found in Africa, Asia, and Europe. They are smaller than wolves and coyotes but larger than foxes. Jackals typically live in packs and feed on a variety of foods, including meat, fruits, and vegetables. Some jackal species are known to raid livestock and poultry, and they are sometimes considered pests.
Coyotes
Coyotes are dog-like scavengers found in North America. They are about the same size as jackals but have longer legs and a more slender build. Coyotes are opportunistic predators and will eat almost anything they can find, including rodents, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and even fruits and vegetables. Coyotes are also known to scavenge on carrion, and they sometimes raid livestock and poultry.
Wolves
Wolves are the largest members of the dog family. They are found in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Wolves are predators and typically hunt in packs. They primarily feed on large mammals, such as deer, elk, and moose. However, wolves will also scavenge on carrion, and they sometimes raid livestock and poultry.
Dholes
Dholes are dog-like scavengers found in Asia. They are about the same size as wolves but have shorter legs and a more compact body. Dholes live in packs and are social animals. They primarily feed on medium-sized mammals, such as deer, wild boar, and antelope. However, dholes will also scavenge on carrion, and they sometimes raid livestock and poultry.
