Overview

Caracal (Caracal caracal)

The Caracal is a sleek, powerful predator known for its striking appearance and incredible agility. Recognizable by its reddish coat, tufted black ears, and piercing gaze, this medium-sized wild cat is one of Africa’s most skilled hunters.

Solitary and elusive, caracals are primarily nocturnal and highly territorial. They are capable of taking down prey much larger than themselves and are famous for their lightning-fast reflexes — even able to leap into the air to catch birds in flight.

Often encountered in savannas, semi-desert areas, and scrublands, the caracal is a prized sighting for those who appreciate the wild and raw beauty of Africa’s lesser-seen predators.
