I have shot these pups in a den with a little risk as female with pups are very defensive and tend to attack.

Golden Jackals are territorial. Mostly hunt alone by waiting for prey and pouncing on them.

The Golden Jackal's conservation status is 'least concerned'. They can be found in and around human habitat looking for food.
