Description
The Caracal, also called Persian lynx or African lynx (Caracal caracal, sometimes Felis caracal), is a fiercely territorial medium-sized cat. Caracals are labeled as small cats, but are the heaviest of all small cats, as well as the fastest. Males typically weigh about 28-40 lbs, while females are smaller. The Caracal resembles a lynx and for a long time it was considered a close relative of the lynxes. Recent DNA research, however, has shown that the Caracal is not a close relative of lynxes at all, but is instead related to the Serval (source Wikipedia)

Just perfect -- makes me think of family, close friends and comraderie. It doesn't hurt that the looks on their faces remind me of an enormous cat that bites my feet.
GEORGEOUS ANIMALS AND WONDERFUL SHOT. THANKS FOR THE INFO TOO. MORE PLEASE.
a smashing shot ! i didnt know about the serval relationship, but both species are long-legged animals of open country, so it makes sense. it is from the Caracal's ability to leap and snatch birds out of the air that the expression 'to put a cat amongst the pigeons' comes. the Turks would release pigeons in front of a pet Caracal and bet on how many birds it would catch. i think the name itself is Turkish, 'black tip', or something ?
What a capture !
This is very nicely shot. Thanks for bringing these cats to me in this photo.
Wonderful shot I felt like I was there.
