Gli sciacalli dorati tendono ad assumere una posizione dominante sulle specie di Canidi più piccole.

In Africa, golden jackals tend to be warier toward [[lion]]s than black-backed jackals.<ref name="estes2"/> In India, lone jackals expelled from their pack have been known to form [[Commensalism|commensal relationship]]s with [[tiger]]s. These solitary jackals, known as ''kol-bahl'', will attach themselves to a particular tiger, trailing it at a safe distance in order to feed on the big cat's kills. A ''kol-bahl'' will even alert a tiger to a kill with a loud ''pheal''. Tigers have been known to tolerate these jackals: one report describes how a jackal confidently walked in and out between three tigers walking together a few feet away from each other.<ref name="perry">{{cite book | author = Perry, Richard | title = The World of the Tiger | year = 1965 | pages = 260 | id = ASIN: B0007DU2IU}}</ref> Tigers will however kill jackals on occasion: the now extinct tigers of the Amu-Darya region were known to frequently eat jackals.<ref name="USSR">Heptner, V.
