Native to Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and India, these agile hunters are superbly adapted to their varied habitats, which range from savannas and forests to semi-deserts and scrublands.
Caracals are renowned for their impressive jumping ability, capable of leaping up to 3 meters in the air to catch birds in flight. They are solitary and primarily nocturnal, using their keen eyesight and hearing to hunt small mammals, birds, and reptiles.
