Are They Kept in North America?

No.
Which is a crying shame, as they are active canids. While at Naturzoo Rheine (Germany) in 2019, I took this photo of two Indian Sloth Bears and three Golden Jackals in their excellent exhibit. The zoo had a dozen jackals in with the bears.

I think that Golden Jackals are common animals in Europe, similar to Coyotes in the US, so they aren’t treated as exotic or rare, and thus, not exported to the US
Not really - they are fairly scarce, with species such as African Hunting Dog, Dhole and Maned Wolf all being more commonplace, let alone Grey Wolf.
I think AndyJ08 is talking about in the wild here.
Nope, none; I don't think there's any outside of the Phillipines. San Diego have expressed interest in holding this species in the past though, but obviously nothing has came of it.
There is a pair at Jurong Bird Park in Singapore.
Then why post? Unless you're subtly double checking yourself.
He'd be wrong on that count too, then
I was today years old when I realized that there are wild jackals anywhere in Europe.
There are some wild boars about, though purity is likely questionable.
Where are they kept? I can imagine the purity is questionable.
Minnesota I think may have pure individuals. Hovatter's Wildlife Zoo is the other place I recall. Probably some others in roadsides of highly questionable purity.
Yes to both.
I thought Minnesota no longer had them.
Who has wildcats? Which subspecies?
They still do.
A few places have African. Omaha is the only one I know offhand.
