Abstract

Abstract:

In September 2025, a medium-sized canine animal was photographed during the camera-trapping survey (totaling 372 camera-days) in Xiata Kyrgyz Township, Zhaosu County, Xinjiang, China. Based on comparisons of morphological characteristics, the species was confirmed as golden jackal (Canis aureus). This detection represents the first documented photographic record of the golden jackal in Xinjiang, filling a distributional gap for the species along the northwestern border region of China.

Key words: Golden jackal (Canis aureus), Xinjiang, New record, Camera trap
