Jackal is a general, not a scientific name, and is given to several native species originating from the wolf family - Canis. Similar group names are also used for sheep dogs, and huskies.
They are generally medium-sized animals, well adapted to living in the wild, and may be difficult to domesticate.
There are three species of jackal, all in the genus canis, the same genus as all dogs. They are: golden jackal, Canis aureus side-striped jackal, Canis adustus black-backed jackal, Canis mesomelas
Canis aureus.
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Canis spp.
The scientific name would be Antidesma venosum.
The scientific name of a jackal varies depending on the species. The three main species are the golden jackal (Canis aureus), the black-backed jackal (Canis mesomelas), and the side-striped jackal (Canis adustum). Jackals are part of the Canidae family, which also includes dogs, wolves, and foxes. They are known for their adaptability and are commonly found in various habitats across Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia.
