No it's true what Reierei's quote about not really knowing them said, no a coyote or a jackal they're not well known they're cousins whose lifestyles are misunderstood. Even the folklore of the golden jackal and coyote prove this problem. I can now see a lot of poor Reirei's scenes come from the negative reputation based on her cousin the coyote, because with misunderstanding their lifestyles most people don't see the gentleness in these two cousins of the wolf. But I've recently read the coyote's folklore and I know a few of the Black-backed jackal folktales, I also know Asia's golden jackal legendary opinion.

What I can see now is stuff like it's not natural that the female would argue with her mate that's fake stuff from the reputation, if Reirei was shown the natural way she'd be showing sincere pleasure about Goigoi's service and protection. Stuff like other jackals joining her that's the natural thing of these omnivores letting a few non-family members  join the pack. Some of Rerei's scenes could have been related to the negative reputation of the golden jackal up in Asia especially her scenes with Scar and Janja. But shown naturally or not I can see Reirei's reluctance it's her gestures and actions against these two males that prove it. She's as reluctant as Kovu was with his mother, poor Reirei has just had to show it the quieter way.

It's also true they've made poor Reirei chase herds she wouldn't chase at all in real life reading a bit of non-fiction I've learned what her coyote cousin chases frequently and what it chases rarely plus the differences in its perferences of favorite prey. Reirei could have died even just cooperating reluctantly chasing so many of the big herds, even some of the rodents can outrun the two omnivores jackal and coyote, lucky she doesn't chase birds all the time, she'd have several bruises or at least feel sore from all of the kicks birds give these medium omnivores. If the scenes was done more the natural way Reirei's pack would probably have used their burst speed while the pangolins rolled because even a rabbits isn't simple for the coyote to catch. These omnivores rarely chase herds, the numerous rodents are what the coyotes and jackals really prefer, they're not Carnivore, their lists of prey are a much longer menu than the menus of the carnivores' different diets. With these medium omnviores speed is the key for catching unseen prey after hearing it, but with wolves and other carnivore cousins strength is the key for catching prey after smelling it.

From the coyotes' folklore in America I can see Bhati the bat-eared fox doing secret cooperation once in a while with the jackals, the coyote has folktales with several of the foxes, Reirei's scenes with Bhati would just have to look less magical to fit the series.
