Side-striped Jackal

he Side-striped Jackal is a medium-sized canid, which tends to be slightly larger than the Black-backed Jackal. Its pelt is coloured buff-grey. The back is darker grey than the underside, and the tail is black with a white tip. Indistinct white stripes are present on the flanks, running from elbow to hip. The boldness of the markings varies between individuals, with those of adults being better defined than those of juveniles.
