Giant jackal (SciiFii)

The giant jackal (Lupulella gigantus) is a large species of canid that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced to the open woodlands, grasslands, highlands, and savannas of Africa to help boost biodiversity. They may resemble gray wolves at first glance, but they have more dull fur coloration and are far less social, behaving more like the coyotes of the Americas. They are very large for a canine's standard, growing to be about the size of the Eurasian gray wolf. Their main rivals includes lions, leopards, hyenas, wild dogs and giant Ethiopian wolves. The conservation status of the giant jackal is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the giant jackal's wide range, and its tolerance to most of human activities. Because of these effects, the population trend of the giant jackal is currently increasing.
