BAMA reported that one of the readers of the online magazine revealed to its editorial staff that golden jackals were seen at Tettye, which is a part of the Hungarian city Pécs in Baranya County. The newspaper reported the case to the Hungarian Wildlife and Haunting Association, and the following summary was given about the case.
The association reported that they have no information about the whereabouts of golden jackals in the area of Tettye, but they emphasised the possibility that these animals may actually live in the area.
The golden jackal can be easily mistaken for the common fox as the two animals share almost the same look. It does not make any sound while hunting because it would betray its location, but when it does, it can be heard miles away. Jackals do not settle down at one place, and sometimes they can be seen inside the areas of villages and towns.
