Caption: The Golden Wolf (canis anthus), also known as the Egyptian jackal or grey jackal, is a canid native to north and northeast Africa. The species is the descendant of genetically admixture canid of 72% Gray Wolf and 28% Ethiopian Wolf ancestry.

Caption: The species is common in northwest and northeast Africa, occurring from Senegal to Egypt in the east, in a range including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisla and Libya in the north to Nigeria, chad and Tanzania a in the south. It is a desert adapted canid, and is common in plains and Steppe areas, including ones lacking abundant water. In the Atlas Mountains, the species has been sighted in elevations as high as 1,800 meters. It is primarily a predator, targeting invertebrates and mammals as large as gazelle fawns, though larger animals are sometimes taken. Other food stuffs include animal carcasses, and fruit. The African Golden Wolf

Caption: is a monogamous and territorial animal, whose social structure includes yearling offspring remaining with the family to assist in raising their parents younger pups. It was previously classified as an African variant of the Golden jackal, with at least one subspecies (canis anthus lupaster) having been classified as a grey wolf. In 2015, DNA genome demonstrated that it was in fact distinct from the Golden jackal and the gray wolf, and more closely related to gray wolves and coyotes. It was estimated that the African Golden Wolf diverged from that the wolf - coyote Claude 1.0-1.7 million years ago.

Caption: The African Golden Wolf does take the side of helping the female take care of the young up to 4 months at this stage the pups become semi-independent, the pups competing for rank, which is established after six months. The female feeds pups more than the male or helpers do, which allows the breeding pair to leave and hunt without leaving the litter unprotected.
