Range
In Africa, golden jackals are widespread in the north and northeastern portions of the continent, being present from Senegal on Africa's west coast to Egypt in the East. This range includes Morocco, Algeria, and Libya in the north to Nigeria, Chad and Tanzania in the south. They also occur in the Arabian Peninsula, and have a patchy distribution in Europe. In their European range, jackals are found in the Balkans, Hungary, and southwestern Ukraine. They are found also in Austria, Slovakia, Slovenia, and northeastern Italy (Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto), where their distribution has recently increased, encompassing also the region Trentino Alto Adige. To the east, their range includes Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent, then east and south to Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, and parts of Indochina.

Famous quotes containing the word range:
“but we wish the river had another shore,
some further range of delectable mountains,”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
“The Canadians of those days, at least, possessed a roving spirit of adventure which carried them further, in exposure to hardship and danger, than ever the New England colonist went, and led them, though not to clear and colonize the wilderness, yet to range over it as coureurs de bois, or runners of the woods, or, as Hontan prefers to call them, coureurs de risques, runners of risks; to say nothing of their enterprising priesthood.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
