8 Commonly Confused Animals

Fox and Black-backed jackal

Although the fox and the black-backed jackal may bear some resemblance at first glance, they do possess notable distinctions. The fox boasts triangular ears, a pointed and slightly upturned muzzle, relatively short limbs, and a long, fluffy tail. In contrast, the black-backed jackal exhibits a longer body, long legs, and large ears. However, the key disparity lies in the black saddle that adorns the jackal’s coat, spanning across its back, serving as its signature feature.
