Caracal Facts – The Caracal is also referred to as Felis Caracal it is a medium sized and elegant cat. It can be spotted allover Africa though it is exclusively nocturnal and it is rarely seen on Safari. In some small reserves of South Africa’s cape as well as Karoo region, the Caracal can easily be sights. The caracal is one of the powerful predators with Reddish-brown coat with lynx-like tufted ears and a short tail. It has got long backed legs which propel enormous leap which allows it to capture birds while flying. Here are the five interesting facts about the caracal;
The Caracal cat is found outside Africa in the Arabian, east of Pakistan, peninsula and western Indian.
In the Ancient tradition era of the Indians and Iran used to be domesticated and released into Arenas which has got flocks of pigeons. The wagers were placed depending on the number of birds the bird the Caracal could catch in its leap. It therefore acted as an origin of expression when put the cat was put on among the pigeons.
Despite the fact that Caracal is well known as the African Lynx and this is because of its short tail, long hind legs and the tufted ears, the caracal is a close relative to the Africa golden cat plus the serval but less to the individuals of Lynx genus but this remains a matter of debate.
The Caracal has a habit of storing their kills in the trees just like the leopard. This is also a common habit in areas that do have high concentration of hyenas.
The wild caracal is found of hunting for the domesticated livestock like chickens at home it therefore suffers a very high oppression from farmers for example a population of about 2,219 caracals died every year in Karoo region of south Africa.
