A congregation of jackals refers to a group of jackals, which are medium-sized canines found in Africa and parts of Asia. These animals are known for their adaptability and scavenging behavior, often seen hunting in pairs or small packs. Jackals are opportunistic feeders, consuming a varied diet that includes small mammals, birds, and carrion. The term "congregation" highlights their social nature, as jackals often come together for hunting or feeding. They communicate through vocalizations, including howls and yips, which help maintain group cohesion. Jackals play an important role in their ecosystems by controlling prey populations and cleaning up carrion.
