it is a kind of canid species, a member of the family Canidae, but they definitely have many cat-like characteristics and it looks like the that typical fox but unlike fox, it is herbivores and does not eat meat at all
They usually live as groups and defend themselves as groups if they are being attacked

What's their English name?
IDK sxb.. .But I saw it somewhere in somalia and people were calling it that name
Sounds like an aardwolf.

Based on @Beri hore’s description, a google search of “Herbivorous African Canidae” turned this up. Apparently it’s called a “bat-eared fox”and it is native to a good portion of Somalia, so its a good chance this might be it, maybe:
Bat-eared fox

The ones you and I posted are both insectivores. A strict herbivore inhabiting semi-arid land makes less sense tbf, or it’d be limited.
Confirmed, this it! Thanks. I must commend your deduction levels. Off the charts!
There are no tigers in Somalia
I thought shabeel was tiger and leopard was harimcad? It can't be the other way around!

Tigers never existed in the wild in Africa, our forefathers never saw one, leopard is shabeel, cheetah is harimacad. there are also two other --medium to small-- cats called "Jiifaa" "Guduudane", i don't exactly know the English names of the animals they correspond to but through people's description i guess they are Caracal and Serval.

Interesting. It could’ve been any one of the others. I went by numbers.
Yes, caracal has pointy ears and has no spots. Serval has spots. They are both the size of a small goat.
Also known as African wild dogs or African painted dogs. Very endangered.

Sorry to hear their conservation status; i think they hold bite force record among the mammals.!

Very powerful, and very deadly when they hunt. Amazing animals. They are probably the most endangered carnivore in Africa, just like the cheetah is the most endangered big cat in Africa.
