Kneel before your Jackal Overlords

Black-backed jackals (Canis mesomelas) and side-striped jackals (Canis audustus) are a much older species of canines (fossil records dating back to the Ice Age). Both species are smaller than coyotes, and are exclusively African animals. Side-striped are also much more timid than coyotes or bbjs, and eat more insects than any other canid species. Functionally, they’re not much different from one another. Both are opportunistic scavengers with occasional hunting of smaller prey species, live in mated pairs/small family groups…screaming…

Yes! They don’t have the same muscle structure as other canids so they can’t do a traditional dog-like snarl. This is about as much as you’ll get with a bbj: 

Though I can’t find any specific footage/images of a jackal vs. an aardwolf it’s not surprising. Black-backs in pairs are capable of taking down animals nearly twice their size, so a lone aardwolf or a den of pups would be easy targets. 

Black-backed jackals are also very territorial. Anything from cape foxes, caracals, african wild cats, and bat-eared foxes they’ll kill and eat if they find them too close to their dens. After all, jackal pups are as much of a target of those animals as those animals are to the adult jackals.
