Caracal

The caracal (Caracal Caracal) is a medium sized wild cat around 3.3 ft long and is also known as the Red lynx, Liberian lynx, Desert lynx, African lynx, or Persian lynx but it's not a member of the lynx genus. The caracal is native to Africa, Central Asia, Southwest Asia, The Middle East, and India. Its name comes from the Turkish word "Karakulak" which means "Black Ear". Many extinct subspecies such as the Schmitz's caracal or Arabian caracal lived in The ME and India.
