TSC Safari Facts: Caracal

Editor TSC on August 31, 2023

Caracals are medium-sized wild cats found in Africa, including countries like Tanzania.

These felines have distinct tufted ears for enhanced hearing, sharp claws, and powerful jaws to take down larger prey. Their strong and agile feet help them leap up to 10 feet in the air.

While they are primarily independent hunters, caracals may form small social groups originally, with a mother and her offspring, until they reach maturity.
