Arab Weather - Social media and news websites circulated videos of wild animals making loud sounds in the forests of northern Jordan: Ajloun, Irbid and Jerash.
What was mentioned in these videos is that the sounds of these animals have become a source of terror and panic for children and adults alike.
To clarify, and scientifically, these sounds are made by the “jackal”, which is a small animal similar to the red fox or “hound”.
Jackal herds make these sounds before sunset and at sunset. The purpose of this is to call out to the herd members to prepare to search for food, check on their members, or to mate. This is a natural phenomenon that occurs daily in summer and winter. There is no need for fear, panic, or media hype.
For your information, the jackal is a very shy animal and runs away when it sees a human, so this warning is necessary.
