Caracals (also known as the “Rooikat”), on the other hand, are solitary predators. The males are larger than the females, and their weight can range from 6 to 19 kg. The caracal is renowned for its jumping capability and can jump up to 3 m high from a stationary-crouched position to catch their prey. Apart from birds, their prey also includes small livestock, antelope and rabbits requiring a short chase (Skinner and Chimimba, 2005). They are believed do reach a maximum speed of up to 100 km/h, but is yet to be confirmed.
