Hyaena-Hyaena hyaena ( Linnaeus ) ( Taras )
The striped hyaena though not much of a common wild animal of Kutch, one does come across it in the shrubby semi-desert areas.
Jackal-Canis aureus ( Linnaeus ) ( Shial
The adaptable jackal is common everywhere. The long-drawn eerie howling of this ubiquitous canine is a very familiar nocturnal sound heard in the countryside. It mostly feeds on carrion and is a useful scavenger. Occasionally, it lifts poultry and young ones
of goats and sheep. It also raids sugar-cane fields and melon patches in season.
