In the German zoo NaturZoo, in the city of Rhine, was born five cubs of the golden jackal. Although this species is quite common in the wild, but in captivity this jackal is not often seen.

The fact that the female had offspring, the caretakers learned from her enlarged nipples. The first few weeks after birth, puppies are hidden from outside view, as they are in the den with their mother.
And when they began to appear from the shelter, only then the zoo workers were able to determine their number. Now they know that there are five of them. “We are very pleased that a new offspring of the golden jackal has appeared in our zoo,” said NaturZoo Director Rheine. Especially when you consider the fact that not every zoo can boast of this type of animal.
The golden jackal, or Asian jackal, or jackal, or African wolf (Latin Canis aureus) is a medium-sized mammal from the canine family (Latin Canidae). It lives in the south of Europe (for example, in Greece, north to Hungary, and west to Dalmatia), in Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, India and Ceylon.
Externally, the jackal resembles a small wolf or coyote, but its size is slightly larger than a fox and smaller than a wolf. The muzzle is slightly sharper than that of a wolf, but wider and duller than that of a fox. The jackal’s composition is dense, and the legs relative to the body are long.
The ears of the jackal are somewhat rounded in shape and are arranged in width. According to the structure of the skull, the jackal is close to the wolf, but differs in size and a shorter front part. The fur is hard, and in color - gray with yellow, red and pale shade. Summer fur is somewhat shorter and coarser than winter and has a more red color with a small admixture of black.
Jackals prefer places that are heavily overgrown with shrubs, reed thickets near water bodies. It can climb the mountains to a height of 2500 meters, but still in the foothills of the jackal is less common. For shelters, the jackal uses various natural depressions, niches, crevices among the stones, and also occupies the burrows of other animals, such as porcupines and badgers, sometimes digs burrows on its own.
Natural enemies are any predator that is larger than a jackal in size.
