ThE cArAcAl
Caracals are strictly carnivorous. They prey primarily on birds, rodents and small antelopes. Like most cats, caracals stalk their prey before pouncing on it. In areas of human settlement, these cats sometimes eat poultry
Most of the mid-size cats, like Servals and Caracals, cost $1700.00 to $2800.00 and Ocelots can run as high as $15,000.00. The more rare the cat, the higher the price
12 years
The caracal can jump 10 feet high
Caracals are generally nocturnal
The caracal has very long black tufts on the tips of the ears
The back of the ears are also black
The name "caracal" loosely means "black ear"
Nobody really knows the reason for the ear tufts
Male caracals measure in head-to-body length 78–108 cm (31–43 in) and have 21–34 cm (8.3–13.4 in) long tails; 77 male caracals ranged in weight between 7.2 and 19 kg (16 and 42 lb)
