The American jackal is a skilled hunter and gatherer, consuming small animals, carrion, insects, and plant matter depending on the season and availability; its diet includes rodents, rabbits, birds, insects, carrion, fruits, berries, hares, and rabbits, as well as fruits. The species employs active hunting, ambush tactics, and scavenging to obtain food, sometimes using group hunting strategies involving pursuit. Daily food requirements range from 400 grams to 0.9 kilograms. Young American jackals feed on milk. The species preys upon various animals, including grouse, prairie dogs, hares, western gophers, marmots, Transberingian ground squirrels, white-footed hamsters, gray voles, and American rabbits. It is noted that in some cultures the animal is consumed, but it is not considered halal or kosher.
