Golden Jackal (Canis aurius indicus) survives in a wide range of environment. Its foraging adaptation varies according to quality and abundance of food sources. The food habits also fluctuate according to season and habitat. This study investigated the diet composition of Golden Jackal using scat analysis method collected between November 2012 and April 2013 from Patna Bird Sanctuary (PBS), Uttar Pradesh, India. A total of 83 scats of Golden Jackal were collected and analysed. Sixteen food items were identified in Golden Jackal scats. Birds contributed maximum (ca. 38.92%) in Golden Jackal diet followed by rodents (ca. 12.14%), insects (ca. 8.92%), reptile (ca. 8.57%), vegetative matter (ca. 13.56%), rufous-tailed hare (ca. 6.07%), cattle (ca. 2.5%), squirrel (ca.1.42%), nilgai (ca.1.07%) and common palm civet (ca. 0.71 %). However (ca. 6.07 %) of prey items could not identified in Golden Jackal scats. Out of (ca. 38.92%) in bird’s contribution egret alone contributed about (ca.20.35%) in Golden Jackal diet followed by gargeny (ca. 8.93%), greater caucal (ca. 5.71%), babbler (ca.1.07%) and (ca. 2.85%) remains of birds were could not identified as per species level. This study is conducted to find out food habits of Golden Jackal and its impact on bird community structure.

Grey squirrels are basically conservative in their choice of diet, selecting items closely resembling those used in habitats containing native vegetation. There is a strong seasonality in the use of various foods. The period of late spring appears to be the most critical for food supply; however, food did not appear to be a proximate limiting factor for this population. Food-caching and recovery behaviors show a strong seasonality. Food caching starts with the maturation of husked nuts and terminates with the onset of winter. Food recovery begins with cessation of food caching and terminates with the appearance of spring foods. Large numbers of nuts are cached and a large proportion (84.6%) of these are recovered. Cached food contributes significantly to the winter diet. The caching of food by an individual squirrel is beneficial to the general population and possibly to tree reproduction.
