The Jackals

As habitats are lost, jackals are increasingly infringing on human settleme=
nts, where can be viewed as a danger to livestock and poultry and be killed=
 as pests. They are also often persecuted as rabies transmitters.

Like jackals, these opportunistic predators seek to ravage all that is good=
 in our State, filling their bellies at a feast of greed and corruption. Th=
e whole affair reeks of madness, the kind of madness that stems from a cons=
cience seared with a hot iron, void of principle, avaricious and demented b=
y power.

The distinguishing characteristics of each species are denoted in their com=
mon names, according to the ADW. The black-backed jackal has black hair run=
ning from the back of the neck to the tail. The rest of the body is reddish=
-brown or ginger and the chest is white. Side-striped jackals are light gra=
y to tan with a white stripe from elbow to hip and black side stripes. The =
golden jackal's coat is usually yellow to pale gold and brown-tipped, but t=
he color can vary with season and region.

As omnivores, jackals like to eat both meat and vegetation. Their diet cons=
ists of leftovers from other animals' kills, ground-dwelling birds, reptile=
s, antelopes, fruits, insects, berries and grass. They're not picky, though=
. They will also eat human trash if something more suitable isn't available=
. Jackals will even eat decomposing or diseased flesh, according to Animal =
Planet.

Pups start hunting at around 6 months, but mom and dad still take care of t=
hem as long as they need it. Jackals become sexually mature at 6 to 11 mont=
hs of age. Some jackals leave their parents at 11 months. Some stay and bab=
ysit, protect and feed their younger siblings. Jackals typically live 10 to=
 12 years.

The jackals that appear in The Lion Guard are black-backed jackals. They ha=
ve brown or tan fur with black fur running along their backs and black tail=
 tips. They have erect, pointed ears and long muzzles with large, round nos=
es. They can have spots on their shoulders or chests. Their inner ears are =
darker than their primary fur color, and the outer ends of their inner ears=
 are rimmed with paler fur. They also appear to be larger then their real-w=
orld counterparts.



Black-backed jackals inhabit two different areas of Africa. Jackal packs ar=
e composed of a mated pair and their young. Jackals use a variety of vocali=
zations to communicate, including yelping, whining, and cackling. They feed=
 upon small to medium-sized animals, including reptiles, birds, and mammals=
. They will also eat berries, insects, and arachnids. Black-backed jackals =
are known for being more aggressive than other jackal species, as they will=
 take on animals larger than themselves.

Fuli mentions jackals as one of the possible adversaries that the Lion Guar=
d might have to face as the Guard rushes to the cry of an animal in trouble=
. Bunga remarks that whatever the adversary may be, the Lion Guard can take=
 it.

A jackal named Reirei and her family appear in this episode. They convince =
the Lion Guard to let them enter the Pride Lands. Reirei sings the song Jac=
kal Style to explain how jackals behave. The family then attacks during the=
 Kupatana Celebration, but are sent back to the Outlands by the Lion Guard =
and Simba.

Two jackals attempt to eat Mjomba's Pack after tricking the aardwolves into=
 trusting them. The Lion Guard arrives and quickly rescues the aardwolves, =
preventing the jackals from eating them and ordering them back to their hom=
e, where they are then shut in by Bunga.

Reirei is secretly watching Muhimu's Herd graze nearby, when she slinks dow=
n to speak with her children. She tells Dogo and Kijana that it's time for =
them to try out a technique that they have been practising - luring a young=
 one away from the rest of the herd to strike it down while the older jacka=
ls chase away the older zebras. She puts her plan into

Soon, Bunga declares victory over Reirei's pups. She halts her attack in di=
sbelief, and Bunga joins the children tocharge the jackal family one last t=
ime. The Lion Guard arrive just in time to see the jackals' defeat. Reirei =
soon grabs Kion's attention, complaining about how her family have been tre=
ated and asking for his help. Kion is sure they can

Reirei and her pack chase some pangolins in the Pride Lands to a cliff edge=
, forcing them to curl up in balls. After scolding her youngsters for playi=
ng with them, Fuli and Ono arrive. Reirei calmly commands her family to sca=
tter, rendering the outnumbered Fuli and Ono unable to catch any of them. R=
eirei then disregards her former advice to her kids, and the jackals attack=
 Fuli by throwing the pangolins at her. When the pangolins land, they uncur=
l. But when the jackals charge at them, they use their flatulence to ward t=
hem away. Reirei signals defeat, and the jackals retreat. Reirei and her pa=
ck return to the Outlands, meeting up with Janja's Clan along the way.

They return to the Outlands Volcano, where they excitedly inform Scar that =
the plan to break up the Lion Guard was a success. Scar explains that their=
 first mission was merely a test, and that their main objective would be in=
 the next mission - eliminating Rafiki. When Janja and Reirei show confusio=
n at this plan, Scar continues to inform them that Rafiki can sense all the=
 Lions of the Past, including himself, something he does not want the Pride=
 Landers to discover yet. Janja and Reirei start to squabble over who will =
take out Rafiki and who will cause a distraction, but Scar grows tired of t=
heir pettiness, and sends Janja's clan out to take down Rafiki, who he info=
rms them is meditating at Mapango Cliffs, while Reirei's pack distract the =
Lion Guard. Reirei proudly states that jackals always get the job done. Out=
side, Janja taunts Reirei over Scar's decision.

the Lion Guard's attention. When they cross a dense opening, Tamaa the dron=
go starts to impersonate the Lion Guard just outside, flying across to give=
 the false impression that the full Lion Guard are surrounding the jackals.=
 Although Reirei takes comfort in the fact that none of the Lion Guard memb=
ers are going after Janja's clan, Goigoi reminds her how bad it is for them=
. But when Tamaa impersonates Kion's Roar, the jackals are shocked to find =
themselves still standing. During this time, Reirei notices Tamaa's tail fe=
athers just outside the clearing, and pins him down.

declares the battle a victory thanks to the hyenas, causing Reirei to lash =
out and state that the jackals were responsible. The chain continues with K=
iburi stating that the crocodiles were the main reason for success, followe=
d by Mzingo who states it was the vultures. When Reirei questions them on t=
heir intelligence with Mwoga still carrying a blazing stick, the vulture pr=
omptly drops it on the ground. Scar appears from the small flames to give t=
hem their next order. He explains how they will be staying in the valley, a=
nd will take the Pride Lands piece by piece. All the animals agree that the=
 valley is a dump, but when Janja offers to rule over them, he causes Reire=
i and Mzingo to argue over leadership, with Reirei stating that she's the s=
martest of them all. Later, she fights with one of Kiburi's crocodiles for =
leadership.

The jackals are with the rest of the Army Of Scar fighting Basi's Pod at Bi=
g Springs. A Gorilla named Shujaa comes to save Basi. He starts throwing ro=
cks at the jackals, hyenas and crocs. When Scar hears what's going on he or=
ders his army to keep attacking

Reirei's Pack helps the Army of Scar fight against the Pride Landers. Howev=
er Scar gets defeated by the Lion Guard. Jasiri soon becomes in charge of t=
he Outlands and jackals might think it's worth living if she's keeping Janj=
a in line.

Jackals are vicious and aggressive creatures that are taller than humans. T=
hey bite and scratch their enemies with their sharp teeth and claws. They r=
esemble dogs with grey hair on their head with glowing white eyes. They are=
 shown to not be mindless creatures that follow instruction or commands wit=
hout question as jackals are shown to retreat or run away when overpowered.=
 When a jackal dies, they turn into sand.

The strength, durability, and speed of jackals surpass that of a human, for=
 they are able to effortlessly lift two people with each hand, absorb damag=
es that are inflicted on them, and can catch up to Moon Knight while runnin=
g on rooftops.

"But who will convince the jackals to come and respect Wiz Rooster's interv=
ention?" asked Old Rex. "After what happened in the Orange Orchard last tim=
e we tried to talk, the jackals have refused to meet with us."

"Wiz Sir, I humbly invite you to mediate between the dinosaurs and jackals.=
 But ... we have to convince the jackals to come. Not just come and partici=
pate but also respect the decision we come to," said Din Din.

Din Din was stunned when he saw the polite manner in which the jackals were=
 behaving with the rooster. He saw Wiz Rooster speak to the head jackal, Ja=
cko, in hushed tones. Soon, Jacko walked upto Din Din and said, "Tell Old R=
ex we are ready to talk if Wiz Rooster will mediate."

"Actually, the jackals had come to me for help many years ago. There was th=
e matter of some of their young jackals getting lost in the deep caverns. I=
 had helped them find their young and ever since they are very grateful," e=
xplained Wiz Rooster with a kind smile.

It was a Sunday morning when all the dinosaurs and jackals gathered in the =
orange orchard. The air was crackling with anticipation and lined with fear=
. The dinosaurs sat on one side while the jackals occupied the opposite end=
.

"We request the jackals to leave Fruit Park and search for another home. Th=
e dinosaur elders are afraid that our young might return to the ways of wil=
d if they live with the jackals," Fredrick finished his statement with a bo=
w.

the Persic shaal, Turkish jakal, canis aureus of Linnaeus, has been thought=
 to be denoted by several Hebrew words variously rendered in the Autho Vers=
. SEE FOX; SEE DRAGON; SEE WHELP, etc. It is a wild animal of the canine fa=
mily SEE WOLF; SEE DOG, which in Persia, Armenia, likewise Arabia (Niebuhr,=
 Beschr. 166), and even in Syria (Russel, Aleppo, 2, 61) and Palestine (aro=
und Jaffa, Gaza, and in Galilee, Hasselquist, Trav. p. 271; among the hills=
 of Judea, Robinson, 2, 432; 3:188), is frequently met with, attaining a la=
rge size (three and a half feet in length), and so closely resembling a fox=
 in color and general appearance as to be at first readily mistaken for tha=
t animal. But the jackal has a somewhat peculiarly formed head, not greatly=
 unlike that of a shepherd's dog, about seven inches long, with a very poin=
ted muzzle, and yellowish-red hair which resembles that of the wolf. The co=
lor of the body is yellowish-gray above, whitish below; the back and sides =
sometimes of mixed gray and black; the shoulders, thighs, and legs uniforml=
y tawny-yellow. The tail is round, projecting, and reaching hardly to the h=
eel. The eyes are large, with a round pupil. It is gregarious in its habits=
, hunting in packs (generally preying upon smaller animals and poultry, but=
 frequently attacking the larger quadrupeds), the pest of the countries whe=
re it is found. It burrows in the earth, preferring forests and caverns, wh=
ere it usually lies hid during the daytime; but at night it issues in compa=
nies (sometimes very large) on predatory incursions among the villages, and=
 often the immediate vicinity of towns. Its favorite food is fowls or carri=
on, and it' will break into graves to 'make a meal upon the corpse, and eve=
n carry off and devour young children if found unprotected. In a wild state=
, this animal has an intolerably offensive odor. Colonel Hamilton Smith, in=
 his Canidae, states that "jackals form a group of crepuscular and nocturna=
l canines, never voluntarily abroad before dark, and then hunting for prey =
during the whole night; entering the streets of towns to seek for offals, r=
obbing the hen- roosts, entering out-houses, examining doors and windows, f=
easting upon all dressed vegetables and ill secured provisions, devouring a=
ll the carrion they find exposed, and digging their way into sepulchers tha=
t are not carefully protected against their activity and voraciousness; and=
 in the fruit season, in common with foxes, seeking the vineyards, and fatt=
ening upon grapes. They congregate in great numbers, sometimes as many as t=
wo hundred being found together, and they howl so incessantly that the anno=
yance of their voices is the theme of numerous apologues and tales in the l=
iterature of Asia. This cry is a melancholy sound, beginning the instant th=
e sun sets, and never ceasing till after it has arisen. The voice is uttere=
d and responded to by all within hearing, in an accent of every possible to=
ne, from a short, hungry yelp to a prolonged crescendo cry, rising octave a=
bove octave in the shrillness, and mingled with dismal whinings, as of a hu=
man being in distress." Their nightly howl has a peculiar wailing tone (Rus=
sel, Aleppo, p. 62; Russegger, Reise, 3, 125), greatly resembling the cry o=
f a child. "These sinister, guilty, woebegone brutes, when pressed with hun=
ger, gather in gangs among the graves, and yell in rage, and fight like fie=
nds over their midnight orgies; but on the battlefield is their great carni=
val" (Thomson, Land hand Book, 1, 134). (See, generally, Bochart, Hieroz. 2=
, 180 sq., who maintains that the jackal was designated among the Greeks an=
d Romans by the name =CE=B8=E1=BD=BD=CF=82, =CE=B8=CF=89=CF=8C=CF=82, Kampf=
