Our beloved cats belong to the cat family. In nature there are an infinite number of felines, of all sizes. However, not all of us will be aware of all subspecies. This feline, we want to call it wild cat ”, Which we want to talk to you about today, for example, is semi-unknown. Is called Caracal and when you find out you will fall in love with it.
The Caracal cat it derives from the Turkish Karakulak that is black ears, also commonly called lynx of the desert.
This wonderful creature inhabits some areas of the Africa and Asia because he loves to live in arid and desert regions. Caracals manage to live on a minimal dose of water.
And of medium size even if its weight it is around 18/20 kilos. We can say that the Caracal is the right link between small and big cats.
Like all felines, the Caracal also sleeps for many hours a day. Its special feature is the small head with two pointed ears and very long ones ending with black hairs, from this they take their name.
We think that the Caracal is a wonderful felid. His fur it is soft and you can see different contrasts of a color almost orange. Black streaks outline her beautiful face.
There are those who argue that the Caracal cat is a sweet and affectionate animal and that it is possible to raise it at home as a pet.
But there are also those who argue the opposite, that is, that it still remains a wild cat and therefore dangerous next to a man.
As much as we would like to have a Caracal in the house it would not be fair. It needs to live in its natural habitat, it is an animal that loves to hunt and live in the midst of nature. What do you think, did you know him? Were you also captivated by this splendid feline?
