The side-stripped jackal is a species of jackal that is native to sub-Saharan Africa. They are medium-sized carnivores and are known for their distinctive black stripes that run down the sides of their bodies. Side-stripped jackals feed mainly on small mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects, and they are also known to scavenge. They are active both day and night and are often seen in pairs or small family groups.

The Side-Striped Jackal is characterized by a pale gray or tan coat, with a distinctive white stripe running from its shoulder to its hip, flanked by a darker stripe. It also has a white-tipped tail, unlike other jackals.
They inhabit a wide range of habitats in central and southern Africa, from Senegal to Somalia and south to northern South Africa.
The best time to hunt them is during the early mornings or late evenings when they are most active. However, they can also be nocturnal in areas with high human activity.
They prefer woodland and savannah environments, often near water sources. Unlike other jackals, they're less likely to be found in open grasslands.
Due to their secretive nature and preference for thickets, they can be slightly more challenging to hunt than the more open-dwelling Black-Backed or Golden Jackals.
Calling, either with electronic callers or mouth-blown calls mimicking prey animals or distressed jackal pups, can be effective. Spot and stalk, especially during their active hours, can also yield success.
They are known to be more solitary than other jackal species and are also noted for their unique vocalizations, which sound like a trill rather than the typical howl of other jackals.
Regulations can vary by country and region, so it's essential to check local hunting guidelines and seasons when planning a hunt.
As omnivores, they play a vital role in controlling rodent and insect populations, and their scavenging habits help clean the environment. However, they can also prey on small livestock, leading to conflicts with farmers.
