Caracal (Caracal caracal)

____________
Caracals are sometimes called desert lynxes, they have short tails and tufted ears like the lynx and bobcat, but they have short, solid reddish colored fur. They're still common in southern Africa but in the middle east they're more rare. Like the serval, they can leap 10 feet in the air to knock down birds. Ours are of the Turkmenistan subspecies.
