Furran Jackal

The Furran Jackal was a species of canine-like predator native to the planet Furria in the Phaedros Sector of the Inner Rim Territories. The Furran Jackal was one of the apex predators of Furria.

Biology
Tall and slender, the Furran Jackal was evolved for speed and efficiency, living on the arid plains of Furria. Although nimble, the Jackal was still powerful. It was not uncommon for a Jackal to attack individuals lost on the plains.

While they seemed to be predatory and at the very least scavengers, they seemed to be largely carnivorous but at least partially omnivorous as they could eat similar foods to Humans (and thus Furrans) such as pistachios.

It was not uncommon for Furran Jackals to be born with heterochromia (different colored eyes).

Behavior
Furran Jackals tended to live in packs consisting of an Alpha Male and a Alpha Female, six to nine adult members, and any number of young juveniles. The pack tended to be very territorial, covering a territory of close to one hundred square kilometers.

The Jackals had proven successful with domestication, but tended to bond with one person only, rather than multiple people. The creatures proved to be very loyal and protective, considering their master part of their pack.
