Asked by Wiki User

There is no difference between bears and pandas, since pandas are bears. But their are differences between the different types of bears. (Sun bear, Asian black bear, black bear, brown bear, polar bear.) It just depends on the area you are in (different climates, geography, food/hunting, etc.) that you find the different types of bears.

Is a jackal a dog?

Asked by Wiki User

No jackals are not the smallest wild dog. The smallest wild dog is the fennec fox that lives in the desert. The fennec fox has huge ears that cover the entire wild dog to protect the fox from the sun instead of panting which makes a dog lose moisture. The fennec fox is indeed the smallest wild dog. I hope that my answer answered your question!

Can a jackal eat a hyena?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The fennec fox's main predators are the various African varieties of eagle owl. Other possible predators include caracals, jackals, striped hyenas, and the saluki, a greyhound-like domestic dog local to the area. However, fennec foxes are considered very difficult to capture, and reports of predators other than the eagle owl are considered to be anecdotal and questionable.
