Black backed Jackal

Black-backed Jackal. Canis mesomelas.
Howling is common in jackals as well as wolves and other members of the dog family. It is a long-range call that is used to communicate with other pack members and also acts as a territorial advertisement. It is generally given by dominant individuals within the pack and often stimulates other packs in nearby territories to start calling in response.
