- Jackals are widespread across India and are omnivores, predators and scavengers.
- Most active at both dawn and dusk, they usually hunt either alone or in pairs. Sometimes they also gather in small packs to scavenge a carcass.
- A female jackal was rescued by the Forest Department officials and brought to BRC in January 2022. She was diagnosed with canine distemper (CD). Since there is no treatment for CD, we could only treat the illness caused by it and hoped for the best. But against all odds she recovered and is currently residing at the centre.
