I’ve photographed quite a few jackals in Africa, mostly the black backed jackal, but also the side striped jackal. This is the Indian version, the golden jackal (although it is a very common and widespread jackal and is also found in Africa, central Europe and the Middle East). Oddly, the golden jackal is more closely related to grey wolves and coyotes than to other jackals.

Maybe the night of this jackel has made the day full of yawns. He’s a handsome fellow and he does look very much like our coyote.
Approved.
Looks like a cute pup
