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:
“No doubt, the short distance to which you can see in the woods, and the general twilight, would at length react on the inhabitants, and make them savages. The lakes also reveal the mountains, and give ample scope and range to our thought.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“They didn’t know
how
my heart woke
to a range and measure
of song
I hadn’t known.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“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)
