Golden Jackals assemble

The Golden Jackal family which has arrived on our mountain outcrop seems to consist of an adult pair and a youngster. I think I’ve seen three at once, but others may have seen more.

Golden Jackals, Canis aureus, are relatives of Grey Wolves. They look so beautiful in this glorious morning light. That warm orange sunlight couldn’t look better on their thick fur.

There’s a Red Fox-like hyper-attentiveness to them that I adore. They also have big brushy tails.

They also have a fine set of teeth. I’m not sure whether this one was howling and yawning.

Which do you think it is?
