JACKAL, wolflike carnivore of the dog genus Canis, family Canidae, sharing with the hyenas an exaggerated reputation for cowardice.
Jackals inhabit more or less open country. Nocturnal animals, they usually conceal themselves by day in brush or thickets and sally forth at dusk to hunt. They live alone, in pairs, or in packs and feed on whatever small animals, plant material, or carrion is available. They follow lions and other large cats in order to finish a carcass when the larger animal has eaten its fill, and when hunting in packs they are able to bring down prey as large as antelopes and sheep.
Like other members of the genus, jackals sing at evening; their cry is more dismaying than that of the hyena.

The evening of Sunday, 30 December 1973 was so cold that the tall, heavily built man who strode through St John's Wood wore a woollen scarf over the lower part of his face, the fur-lined hood of his green army surplus parka over his head. In the pocket of his parka was an Italian-made, 9mm Beretta pistol.
As on many London streets, half the lights of Queen's Grove had been turned off because of the energy crisis caused by an Arab oil embargo, which had come on top of a coal miners strike. The Heath government had appealed for people to use coal, electricity and petrol sparingly. Industry had slowed to a three- day week. That morning the Queen had set an example when she had dispensed with her usual cortge to travel to the parish church at Sandringham by mini-bus - only to find Prince Charles appearing alongside his friend Lady Jane Wellesley, and drawing a record postwar crowd of 10,000 people to the royal estate, virtually all of whom had come by car.
