What is the average size or weight of a golden jackal for comparison with our coyotes?I live in a small country in Europe, Serbia.
We don't have coyotes, we have golden jackals.
He resembles a coyote, but is much smaller than him.
About 20-30 pounds, which is very comparable to our desert coyotes. A big one down here will go a little over 30. Not like those big suckers up north pushing 50.Thanks,
10-15 kg max
Black-backed jackals in South Africa and Namibia are similar too, though, in my opinion, prettier than coyotes with that black fur covering the back. I killed a large male in SA and in retrospect sure wish I had made a rug of him.i saw golden jackals in Iraq, they looked very similar to coyotes
