Why the fox and jackal are frequently described as cunning and cleaver? Are the fox and jackal really as cleaver and cunning as the corporate man? Why man since prehistoric time was very discriminative and prejudiced towards some animals?

Even in many story books all over the world, both the jackal and fox are shown in poor light. The truth is that they are neither cunning nor cleaver. But why they are described so? That is because of human psychology and human discriminatory attitude or behaviour.
