Best Answer

Jackals are omnivorous and can change their diet depending on available food. They mostly eat insects, berries, and small mammals like rodents, but will sometimes form a pack to hunt larger prey. They are commonly mistaken for eating mostly carrion, which is actually only a small portion of their diet. Jackals are not really picky when it comes to food, they just eat things that they can eat like: young Gazelles, rodents, rabbits, birds, eggs, reptiles, fish, insects, and fruit. And occasionally they eat road kill.
