Is it true that jackals have appeared in Latvian forests? 0 17

These are still unofficial reports, but they seem quite plausible.

For example, in neighboring Belarus, camera traps are already regularly capturing jackals.

"For the Belarusian fauna, this is a relatively new species," says Victoria MAZANIK, Deputy Director of the Center for Ecological Education and Development.

The predator is successfully spreading across the country due to mild winters. It has already been seen in many regions. The jackal is smaller than a wolf and prefers open meadows and river floodplains, which are abundant in Latvia.
