This episode is dedicated to a cousin of a dog - jackal. Our friend Anurag Chaudhary introduces us to the image of the jackal in Indian culture. He shares some folk tales and personal experiences about this animal. Having heard the stories of Anurag, we wanted to learn more about jackals. So we spoke to Nathan Ranc who worked on a research project about golden jackals in Europe. Nathan debunked some myths about jackals, explained their place in the canid family and told us interesting stories about wildlife ecology overall.
