The jackal, a fascinating creature steeped in ancient mythology and endangered in its natural habitat, holds a significant place in various cultures and ecosystems. In the Tomb of Sinjin, a captivating mural depicts the god Anubis leaning over the mummy of Ramses II, showcasing the jackal's association with death and afterlife rituals. Similarly, from the tomb of Tutankhamun in Egypt's Valley of the Kings emerges an image of the king transformed into Anubis himself—a powerful symbol representing protection during one's journey to eternity. Venturing to Ethiopia's Bale Mountains at elevations between 4000m-4300m reveals another side to this enigmatic species. The Abyssinian or Ethiopian Wolf, also known as Simien Jackal or Fox due to its resemblance, roams these high-altitude landscapes alone—endangered yet resilient. Captured mid-yawn against this breathtaking backdrop, their vulnerability becomes apparent as they strive for survival amidst environmental challenges. Anubis reappears within ancient papyrus scrolls depicting psychostasy—the weighing of souls—an integral part of The Book of The Dead. This portrayal further solidifies his role as guardian and guide through life's final transition. Meanwhile, across southern Africa lies the haunting call of the Black-backed Jackal echoing through Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa—a reminder that these omnivorous creatures adapt remarkably well despite their diminishing numbers. In Etosha National Park situated in Namibia—one can witness playful interactions among young black-backed jackals teasing each other mischievously—an endearing display highlighting their social nature even amidst harsh conditions. However, it is crucial not to overlook their plight; both Abyssinian/Ethiopian Wolves and Black-backed Jackals face endangerment due to habitat loss and human encroachment. As we reflect on history carved onto painted wooden stelas like Neswy’s or preserved within Canopic jars found in Egypt, the jackal's presence remains intertwined with our collective human narrative.
