I spotted this young pair of jackals on the 17th fairway of the Royal Calcutta Golf Club in Kolkata (http://www.rcgc.in/). I am told that there are several of this species on the premises of this very old golf club (it is the oldest golf club outside Great Britain - it was founded in 1829!). These lovely animals roamed free in these parts till urbanization left only the golf club premises with the natural habitat that they require. Then the club was fenced off and so these furry animals live in peace in the woods surrounding the club. I am told that the club provides them with food and water. They are out on the fairway sunning themselves after a weeks' heavy downpour(Took this with the the only camera available - my Nokia E71 mobilephone camera)
