| Sometimes called the African Lynx because of the long tufts of hair on it's ears- present also in the Canadian and European Lynx. (Often thought that the tufts convey moods of the cat) |
| Occasionally classified with the lynx because of the ears, the Caracal is actually thought to be more closely related to the golden cat. A heavy species, the caracal roams the scrub, steppe, and woodlands of Africa and Asia. |
|
| Caracal is so called from a Turkish word 'Karakal' which means "black ears" and refers to the disinctive coloration on the backs of the ears. |
