    Default Indian Jackal-Female

    Canis aureus indicus is a sub species of the Golden Jackal indigenous to some asiatic countries.Sighted at the Cauvery Wild Life Sanctuary.Nikon 7100+200-500mm1/800s ISO2000s F/6.3 March evening 2016.This was a very unexpected encounter.We were cruising leisurely along the main forest road when we saw her coming up on the road ahead. Our first thought was that she was one of the village dogs until her loping gait caught our attention.She immediately left the road to disappear into the forest but not before I got a few images.I was on the wrong side in the vehicle so it was a difficult shot.

    Rare sighting of C.a. indicus. Fine details. Wish you good luck for the future. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

    P.S.: I have seen it only once, that was in Corbett, glimpses of side view of face and long ears gave me initial impression of Wolf, till I saw the tail and grizzled back! A few days back I saw one Canis aureus (Linnaeus) crossing a village road desperately in the outskirts.

    Great to see this image. You got it clearly without any intervening vegetation. Our forests never fail to surprise us. The moment one things there is nothing suddenly something comes out of the blue. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for your good wishes Shaktipadaji ,Sabyasachi.It is encouragement and appreciation from you all that gives an extra edge to our innate love for the wild and makes us keener to bring back images which would further engender love for nature in all who see them.

    Agree on first look it does resemble a dog. Nice pose and good eye contact. You have got it well in the short duration available. Thanks for sharing.

    Nice image. Jackals are harder to see down here than wolves. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing.

    nice to see this. I have feeling this a cross breed...the snout and head shape look more dog like than jackal...cross breeds were common in the country side in the past ...now with jackal populations falling drastically these hybrids have also become rare.
