Culture: The Jack is a common mount used for travel throughout Mandalorian space. It is most commonly seen on Concord Dawn and the plains of Mandalore and holds little cultural value to the Mandalorian people outside of personal use. Though it has spurred the phrase "Breeding like Jacks" due to how quickly they procreate.
Technology level: N/A
General behavior: The Jack live short lives compared to many other species on Concord Dawn and thus their biological response to physical stress is to procreate. Because of this the Jack usually live in pairs though they do not mate for life. In fact, quite the opposite. When given the opportunity Jacks of opposite sex will jump at the chance to spread their gene pool. Despite the silliness of their existence the Jack are also accomplished hunters, though they are nowhere near the top of the food chain. The Jack survives off mostly a diet of meat, hunting small game usually and sometimes going after bigger prey like the Madnalorian Viper.
History: The Jack were discovered upon settlement of Concord Dawn. Since they have been utilized as companion mounts and even at one point were used for mail delivery services during the time when Mandalorians first began to settle Concord Dawn. First hunted as part of verd'gotten as a worthy opponent to young Mandalorians trying to prove their worth, the Jack were considered little more than slightly dangerous game. However during a short time period where a massive solar storm made technology useless the Mandalorians saw use in their incredible ground speed to deliver messages across long stretches of dangerous and unsettled land. Since then they have seen use as mounts, loyal pets, and guard animals on Concord Dawn and throughout Mandalorian occupied space.
