Golden jackals were found to eat mainly small mammals (54% biomass), followed by domestic animals, ungulates and plants together, these items make up 90% of the golden jackal’s diet.This paper aims to review the diet studies that have been performed on the golden jackal in Europe and provide a complete overview of its food intake, feeding behaviour and strategy.Understanding its trophic ecology is increasingly important as it colonises new areas and ecosystems. The golden jackal Canis aureus is spreading throughout Europe and settling in countries where it has never been found before.
