Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jos Stratford" data-source="post: 3369643" data-attributes="member: 12449">The spread of Golden Jackal from south-eastern Europe to the north and west is increasingly becoming clear, with both genetic data and clear migration paths now all supporting a natural range expansion. The term 'invasive' is incorrect for this species today, let alone at some point in the future.Additional to the recent record in the Netherlands (captured on a trip cam), there is also a similar image coming form Finland (close to the border with St Petersburg region) - there are a couple of images and though not completely clear, they do appear to show Golden Jackal. This would mark a slight range expansion on the established animals now resident in Estonia and come with increased records, some not confirmed, coming from Poland and Germany for example.</blockquote>
