Black-backed jackal

The black-backed jackal image taken within the Masai Mara triangle in Kenya Africa. The black-backed jackal is recognized by the mantle of black hair on the back that contrasts with the rust-colored body. The tail is black­-tipped, as is that of the golden jackal. The black-backed jackal is usually the most frequently seen, as it is more diurnal than the other two species.

Happy Trails,
