@almightyshockwave96 They are not endangered but still categorized as wildlife so I would say, no. And if then only with a license I guess.

@CloudTyrant Probably travelled there. They are making a sort of comeback in Europe.

So i know that in northern italy, in the friuli areas, there are more golden jackals... but i don't know if they're indigenate populations...

I can tell these are Asian golden jackals, judging by the brightly coloured pelt and flat skull
