Jackal or else?

    Could this be a Jackal? It is difficult to see.

    This site is so addictive! I haven't seen one of those yet. Very cool.

    Jackals look like a foxy faced dog with a greyish fur back. Never seen one of these mongooses yet, cool

    Thanks for the clarification. I found it a real confusing picture. It seems as the mongoose has no stripes as well.

    There are about 6 different mongooses in Serengeti, and only the Banded has stripes. This guy is very distinctive with his white tail and black legs.

    I did not know there were so many different species of mongoose. I am learning new things every day. This is so interesting.
