Title: Anyone Else Seen A Jackal
Post by: HappyMonday on March 02, 2010, 19:21:35 PM: About 4 years ago I was driving back from a night out in Fethiye I saw a strange dog-like creature in the cars headlights just opposite where Symbola is now. I knew it wasnt a dog because of the long ears and build and upon looking the next day on the internet identified it as a jackal. A turkish friend tells me that late at night when driving on the road to Dalaman you can see them on the hillside. I just wondered whether anyone else had seen any of these creatures? They seem pretty shy (like foxes).

we have seen many of them unfirtunately some knocked over on the road.
