Can you tell me anything about black-backed jackals predating aardwolves? After the Lion Guard episode that featured Reirei attempting to eat a clan of aardwolves, I looked into it and some sources said that jackals were an aardwolf predator. I was surprised to think they would take a similarly-sized carnivore, or are those reports false?
Though I can’t find any specific footage/images of a jackal vs. an aardwolf it’s not surprising. Black-backs in pairs are capable of taking down animals nearly twice their size, so a lone aardwolf or a den of pups would be easy targets.
Black-backed jackals are also very territorial. Anything from cape foxes, caracals, african wild cats, and bat-eared foxes they’ll kill and eat if they find them too close to their dens. After all, jackal pups are as much of a target of those animals as those animals are to the adult jackals.
I don’t believe they outright prey on aardwolves, but given the opportunity they will indeed kill and eat them or their pups.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
