After a four-month rehabilitation period, an injured golden jackal that was rescued from Thane in March has successfully been reintroduced to its natural home thanks to the tireless efforts of the NGO Resqink Association for Wildlife Welfare (RAWW) and a veterinarian.
The male jackal, which is around two years old, was rescued from upper Thane in March while responding to a distress call from a construction site. The animal had fallen into a deep pit which was dug for construction purposes and suffered serious injuries on its hip joints. The jackal was treated by Dr Rina Dev and RAWW rescue team members.
