A Chinese expedition team has been able to capture clear images of what observers believe is a Golden Jackal.

 

中国一支探险队成功拍摄到某动物的清晰照片，专家认为该动物是金豺。
 

 

The Golden Jackal is a fox-like animal thought to be living in the southern Himalayan Mountain Range in the south of Tibet.

 

Photos were taken in a meadow 3,500 meters above sea level in the south foothills of the Himalayas.

 

Researchers say the animal disappeared so swiftly that they had no time to shoot videos.

 

Li Sheng, doctoral supervisor¹ from School of Life Sciences at Peking University, says he believes the picture taken is - in fact - a Golden Jackal.

 

If confirmed, this will be the first documented photo of a Golden Jackal in China.

 

The Golden Jackal is found in North Africa, the Middle East and south Asia.

 

It's also believed to be found on the China-Indian border, as well as certain regions of Nepal.
