Lively and cunning, the jackal is a canid found in the savannahs, steppes, and wooded areas of Africa and Asia. Medium-sized, it is distinguished by its mixed brown and gray fur, long, thin legs, and pointed snout.
Omnivorous and opportunistic, it feeds on small rodents as well as fruit, insects, and scraps left by large predators. Surprisingly, unlike many other canids, jackals often live in faithful pairs, and both parents actively participate in raising the young. Thanks to their keen senses and intelligence, they have adapted to a variety of environments, including those close to inhabited areas.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the jackal: slender silhouette, detailed fur and vigilant attitude. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent stories in the heart of the savannah or to educate children about the richness and survival strategies of the animal world.
