jackal's
African scavenger's possession
Jackal's is the possessive form of jackal, the wild dog found in Africa and Asia known for scavenging.
It indicates something belonging to or associated with a jackal: the jackal's howl echoed across the savanna.
Figuratively, jackal describes someone who performs menial tasks for another or profits from others' misfortune, so the jackal's share might mean scraps left by more powerful parties.
